 Touré Kunda: "N'Doungou" (1991)

7" / Trema / 60291 / France (Promo)

Description: Promotional single for appearance "en concert a l'Olympia les 6, 7 et 8 mars 1991", with two versions of "Ndoungou". The shorter track is an edit of the longer one. The studio version of "Ndoungou" was originally released on Salam. This single version is similar to the live version on Sounké, and the musicians credited are the same, but there are no audience sounds and there are other differences. This version appears to be a rehearsal or alternate studio recording, and is otherwise unreleased.
