Géédy Dayaan[1] or Geedy Dayaan[2][3] is the first album released by Disques Griot (Griot Records) of the Senegalese (later Senegambian) band Super Diamono in 1979—under their new name at the time: Super Diamono de Dakar.[1] The album was recorded at the Jandeer, a night club in Dakar.[4]
Omar Pene, the lead vocalist of the band, and one of its original members, was given little room to showcase his vocals by the band's management. Critics such as Mazzoleni describe the album as "a rather tasteless mixture of rock, reggae, synthetic strings and 'African percussion' influences"[1]
