Discography of Guinea Bissauan recordings

Compiled by Graeme Counsel
 

This discography attempts to list all vinyl recordings (78, 45, and 33.3 rpm discs) produced in Guinea Bissau or which which feature Guinea Bissauan musicians. I have also included compilation discs where Guinea Bissauan artists are represented.

If you own or know of a vinyl recording that is not listed here send me an email - graeme @ radio africa . com . au (remove all spaces) - with the details and the entry will be included. All contributions will be acknowledged on this web page.

Brackets indicate approximate year of release.
