BO DIDDLEY – DOWN HOME SPECIAL – KOKO MOJO CD

A superb collection of the Diddley Daddy including unusual LP cut s and tracks where he plays with or produces other artists.

The “diddley beat” is essentially the clave rhythm, one of the most common bell patterns found in sub-Saharan African music traditions, with a ” bom,bom, bom, bom, bom…” back-beat. The synoptic 5/4 rhythm pattern approach can be heard throughout his recordings and the pattern became synonymous with his style. The musical exploration takes in the years 1955 through to 1963.
