SISSOKO BABA - CD TCHIWARA

Popis - TCHIWARA:
Baba Sissoko is one of the best artists to come out of Mali. Born in 1963 in the capital city Bamako, Sissoko is a poet and singer of the griot tradition, as well as a talented multi-instrumentalist of international fame. He is a missionary to a certain degree, his music a key element in the discovery of the origins of the blues. This album sees another collaboration with Goodfellas, right after the release of 'African Griot Groove' and 'Baba Et Sa Maman'. 'Tchiwara' is necessarily urgent, it shares the electricity of western rock, an appropriate tendency behind extended jam. With new crew members Angelo Napoli (electric guitar), Dario Triestino (electric bass) and Roberto Coscia (drums), Baba is free to dialogue between the roots of afro-blues and the most recent hybrid of ethno-jazz-rock. He plays traditional instruments such as ngoni, tamani, doun doun, karahnan, kamalengoni, djembe and calebasse, alongside acoustic guitar and bass. 'Tchiwara' is easily one of his most daring works yet, leading the way to bring the African forerunners to their contemporary western followers.
