Master" Kwi Bamba was the saxophonist for Nimba Jazz, hailing from NZerekore in the Republic of Guinea. Much like the better-known group Bembeya Jazz, the mission of this federal band, formed in 1960, was to promote traditional Guinean music with modern instrumentation. Nimba Jazz was original in its use of the rhythms and singing styles associated with the animist ethic groups from the Forested Guinea region, and in particular the Guerz (or Kpelle) ethnic group.
