• all-women, all-army, all-African: ‘Les Amazones de Guinée’ are utterly unique

• formed 47 years ago, they are an enduring symbol of African woman’s emancipation

• a national institution, they have performed throughout the continent yet “Wamato” is only their 2nd album – their 1st was 25 years ago

• tight yet fluid, it is an amazing return as ‘Les Amazones’ are indeed “back with a vengeance!”

Reviews

fRoots - Con Murphy

It's been quite a while, but Africa's first-ever all-female group are back with a vengeance - Retour en force!

Songlines - Nigel Williamson

Every weapon you'd expect to find in the armoury of a great West African dance record is here - infectious Mande rhythms, ringing electric guitars, riffing horns, soulful lead vocals & hypnotic call-and-response harmonies
