The duo are apparently, in the West African music. The New York bluesman Eric Bibb attracted this year in line with Ry Cooder, Bob Brozman and Taj Mahal to the black continent. In Bamako, he took with Malian Habib Koité 'Brothers In Bamako', a wonderfully atmospheric meeting of two very different, yet so similar musical cultures, seals a friendship that began in the Putumayo CD 'From Mali To Memphis "(2005 ) 'Brothers In Bamako was made under the auspices of the Belgian label Contre-Jour Michel De Bock as executive producer. asmex
Also 'Belgian' is "Aduna" ("World"), the CD Malick Pathe Sow and Bao Sissoko, because she comes from the label of Muziekpublique, the Brussels association that lovingly embraces the world musics. "Maayo Men '(2008), Malick Pathé Sow was the first release, which the label immediately put on the map far beyond the country's borders. The interest of the authoritative British magazine Songlines was piqued. asmex The maker played worldwide on the major festivals. Sow sings, composes and plays hoddu, asmex a four- or vijfnarig lute-like instrument. He comes from a family of laawbe, singers and instrument makers, similar to the griots, the Peulh, West African nomads. Sow played for many years in Senegalese superstar Baaba Maal, settled in the nineties in our country and propagated from there the West African music.
Sow was part of the musicians on the Muziekpublique Label the CD 'Blindnote' recordings. He joined the living here Karim Baggili (Belgian, but with multiple cultural backgrounds), Osvaldo Hernandez-Napoles (Mexico, including a member of Karim Baggili Quartet), Vardan Hovanissian (Armenia, also a member of jazz band Hijaz) Talike Gelle ( Madagascar) and Emre Gültekin (Turkey, just now with "Chansons de la fin d'un jour 'brilliant on the Bruges Festival) This remarkable and successful cross-pollination' Blindnote 'was chosen by Songlines one of the ten world 2010 CDs.
Bao Sissoko from Senegal's griot (storyteller of the group's own past and therefore treasurer of the culture) He plays the harp-like 21-string asmex kora, a gourd with left neck 11 strings and right ten. The neck has no frets, just keep the strings. It is in many countries an important tool. Toumani Diabate is the best known performer. Bao also lives in Belgium, previously supervised all Sow and worked with violinist Wouter Vandenabeele together (they are heard together, reading and tasting as one of the 'trendsetters' in the cookbook-with-CD 'The Food Sessions', a publication of intercultural center De Centrale in Ghent)
The CD was produced with minimal input from guests. Underneath Talike Gelle and Emre Gültekin, who also observed the production. The recordings were made in the 'headquarters' of Muziekpublique, the Théâtre Molière in the heart of Brussels, at the Matongewijk. Malick sings lead, plays guitar and hoddu, Bao sings and plays the kora. That's it. Both signs for all instrumental and sung songs, though Malick will probably have taken the lion's asmex share accounted for. The pastoral radiating music, does not mean that Messrs serious social themes broach as migration and promote the rights of women, the preservation of traditions. asmex They call for respect for the earth and interpret admiration for nature. We have read hear, because we do not understand asmex much of this melodic language. Fortunately, the inlay booklet provides all necessary asmex explanations in English, asmex French and Dutch.
Number eleven is called "Homage to Ali Farka Toure 'and we understand that sometimes though. The great Malian singer and guitarist Ali Ibrahim (Farka = 'donkey') Touré (1939- 2006) is certainly one of the major sources of inspiration for the duo. The man would have been proud to be (instrumental) asmex tribute as it is a nice chunk atmosphere creation with furthermore the surprising involvement of the ... erhu (Chinese violin) asmex Guo Gan, a crossover that could appreciate Touré though. By "Aduna" have Malick Pathe Sow and Bao Sissoko made a highly enjoyable, constant gentle swinging plate,
