The Dalecarlia Recordings 1971-72

Track A1 recorded at the KSB studio in Borlänge 1972. Two years prior to the release of the Afro Temple album, Sabu Martinez composed and arranged a percussion musical. All the musical content was performed by Sabu´s pupils who also appeared on the Afro Temple album. The tapes have been buried deep down in the vaults of the KSB studio ever since the recording session took place back in 1971. Here they are now presented for the first time. Tracks A2, A3, B1 and B4 recorded at the Swedish Radio in Falun during November 14-15 1971. These tracks were previously released on the Coop LP 71-01 "Aurora Borealis" by Sabu & Björbobandet. Track B2 recorded live at Hagaskolan, Borlänge December 8, 1971. On this date, the organ-jazz quartet Bortalaget was the headlining act of a high school festival in Borlänge. This track is a jam, based on the structures from the Sabu Martinez song "Puertorican Rice & Beans". The track has been edited down to 10 minutes while in reality it was much longer.
