Release Notes:
Imme is Alpha's sixth solo recording, following on
his 2005 release Djama, and two award-winning
releases with the African Guitar Summit. The album
was produced by Alpha with the assistance of
violinist, Jesse Zubot, and marks a significant
departure from previous releases. Jesse had a large
influence on the overall sound and describes it as
thicker than past projects. Alpha brought in
several friends for Imme, his friend and African
Guitar Summit drummer Kofi Ackah, the goni player,
Sekou Dioubate, and from France, the well known
Guinean emigre, Doura Barry. Doura added his
guitar, harmonica and co-wrote one song, Wondrigal
Alpha co-wrote The Climate is the Heart with
environmentalist Sanjay Khanna, who worked with
Alpha to compose a song that synthesized the
paradox of love, hope, social instability, and
economic crisis.
