Baba
Haji Baba
Modern MST 825
I didn't expect much from this budget LP on Modern. But who can pass up an album with "crazy" and "bongo" in the title? I was surprised to hear sophisticated small combo jazz, rather than the standard "crazy bongo" stuff.
I did a search for Haji Baba and wasn't rewarded with information on the man.
Crazy Bongos
Baba
Bongo Madness
Bongo Congo
Katanga
Bongo Cubano
El Rio Bongo
Panamania
Tabatinga
Bango Del Sol
I think Haji Baba was an invention of Modern Records (or Crown Records...almost the same thing).
