Traders is a collaboration between two fiddle players from traditions that evolved almost 3,000 miles apart. Gambian griot and riti player Juldeh Camara trades licks with Griselda Sanderson's Scottish fiddle and Swedish nyckelharpa. Julaba Kunda were winners of World Music Network's battle of the bands competition with the track 'Pijin Jalen'. Produced by Griselda Sanderson, Traders was described as ‘an improbable but delightful fusion. The resulting hybrid of African rhythms wrapped up in highland jigs is built on a telling combination of inspiration and hard work. . .It’s lovely stuff and full of endless surprises.’
Nigel Williamson, Songlines: Nov/Dec 2011
