Release Notes:
Seckou Keita presents his Quartet with West African
kora, a host of African drums and percussion,
double bass, Egyptian violin, riti (fiddle), n'goni
(lute), cajon (box drum) Beautiful, soothing,
almost hypnotic music.
"Seckou Keita, an inspired exponent of the kora can
make the West African harp-lute sound like a small
band." - Guardian
"Keita's vocals, passionate and melodic, add an
element to an already inspired recording." - Dirty
Linen
The album bridges the traditional and the
contemporary, weaving ancestral stories with the
reality of the past, present and future.
