The apparently conflicting musical styles American/European jazz and traditional music of West Africa - meet here in artful fashion and show how harmonious and powerful these worlds are intertwined, complement each other and bear down cultural boundaries with ease and fun...
The result is a vibrant concoction of beautiful melody lines driven by echoic balafon / brass soli - conterpointed by virtuosic djembe /percussion lines - a combination of sound-cultures at the highest level.
