Can you give us an Adress were to buy the Byard Lancaster Box?
Hello Erik, I believe the Byard box set is still available from the label:
https://www.soufflecontinurecords.com/product/byard-lancaster-the-complete-palm-recordings-1973-1974-fflbox002
And in the US from Dusty Groove: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/188652/Byard-Lancaster:Complete-Palm-Recordings-1973-1974-Us-Mother-Africa-Exactement-Funny-Funky-Rib-Crib-Love-Always-7LP-set
Thank you, I‘ve already ordered the Vinyl and the CD.
I‘d be interested in more Informations about Francis Nyombo, who also played with the Human Arts Ensemble, Robin Kenyatta and Jimmy Owens.
I know that he worked in Paris and in one or both „Kongos“ and the Band Jupiter and Okwess in 2013.
I'm not aware of a lot of information about François Nyombo outside of what is in this Chicago Reader article: https://web.archive.org/web/20210612220245/https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/music-notes-two-strings-and-a-cloud-of-dust/Content?oid=900867
A couple of songs from an early 1980s cassette released under the name Mantuila Nyombo are on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVxzHV6tmRg ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YqCm735IDk
And there was a documentary made about him under that name, but I haven't seen it. It is available on DVD: https://laboutiquedesmutins.org/mantuila and on VOD: https://www.cinemutins.com/mantuila-fou-de-la-guitare
