| The Gambian band Super
Eagles were pioneers of African popular music at the end of the 1960s/start
of the 70s, delivering a progressive blend of afrocuban, pop, soul,
bluebeat, Congolese rumba, highlife and ndagga music. Their use of
electronic equipment to express the Wolof lyrics & rhythms of
original compositions laid the foundation for mbalax, which was popularised
a decade later by Youssou N’Dour. During their five-year existence,
the Super Eagles became one of West Africa’s best travelled bands
and pan-African music heroes. |

The Super Eagles were: Badou Jobe (solo
guitarist/bandleader), Paps Touray and Dauda Njie, aka Edu Haffner
(lead vocals), Francis 'Senami' Taylor (guitar/keyboard), Modou Cham
(tenor sax and congas), Oussou Njie (singer and lyricist), Charles
Valentine (bass) and Malan 'Malando' Gassama (drums, percussion).}
