You are most welcome.

For those that are unfamiliar with "Douga" (such as we were):

...produced by obscure artist Quintette Guineenne on record label "Syliphone". Dating from Guinea's first few decades of independence, this track demonstrates the merging of older African roots and modern jazz music.

Either way, it is definitely a really groovy and rare track! And this compilation wouldn't be as good without all the bonus tracks ;)
