Recorded in the early years of Guinea-Bissau’s independence, Djâ Nfrontam captures the sound of a nation finding its voice. Super Mama Djombo blends West African rhythms, political lyrics, and elements of Afrobeat, highlife, and traditional Guinean music into a vibrant and uplifting mix.

Sung mainly in Crioulo, the songs balance catchy melodies with subtle resistance and cultural pride. The production is raw and organic, with guitar-led grooves, rhythmic percussion, and warm brass arrangements that reflect both local traditions and pan-African influences.

A powerful snapshot of post-colonial optimism and artistic freedom, Djâ Nfrontam is essential for fans of 70s/80s African music, especially those into Orchestra Baobab, Bembeya Jazz, or early Fela Kuti.
