Mark Ernestus presents Jeri Jeri - Ndagga Versions

Ndagga Versions is the second of two long players that collate the Jeri-Jeri material released across a series of five 12"s by Mark Ernestus. The Hardwax owner is already renowned for widening public awareness in niche African sounds thanks to his stellar curatorial role in Shangaan Electro, the compilation of South African music released through Honest Jon's a few years back, yet the Jeri-Jeri project is the result of Ernestus further ensconcing himself in the continent's musical heritage. He decamped to Dakar in 2011 to record the Ndagga material with a clutch of Sabar drummers as well as Senegal's most famous sons Youssou N'Dour and Baaba Maal. This being Ndagga Versions, the nine-track set draws from the pool of instrumental cuts from the series.
