''BOLOMAKOTE''

(BURKINA FASO, 1998)  @

Desde Burkina Faso llegan los magos de la percusión. Portentosos ritmos africanos de difícil calificación. Representan como nadie el continente africano en movimiento. El grupo está compuesto por siete músicos que tocan instrumentos autóctonos y con ellos danzan, saltan, vuelan y cantan canciones de sus ancestros y antiguos reyes. Un delirio sonoro.

*********************

This is a subtly powerful group featuring balafon, djembo, talking drum, flute, and lead voice with chorus, all male. The rhythm and melody are so well integrated that the definitions of each become blurred: on first listen the music seemed all sweet melody, while the second time around every instrument emerged as rhythmically inspired. The excellent technical quality -- as "live" as a concert-hall recording -- adds to the impact . ~ Raissa St. Pierre, Original Music

Personnel: Soungalo Coulibaly (vocals, flute, maracas); Mahama Konaté (vocals, balafon); Paco YeAdama (vocals, djembe); Baba Diarra (balafon); Tiawara Keira (drums); Souleyname Sanou (maracas).

Recording information: Sound Studio N, Cologne, Germany (11/1988).
