Kaouding Cissoko - Senegal-Mauritanie!

The beautiful instrumental track "Senegal-Mauritanie" is taken from Kaouding Cissoko's fanstastic solo debut album "Kora Revolution" (Published by Palm Pictures, London (1999). It focuses on the versatility of the performer and the instrument. As Senegal's leading African lute-harp player and a key member of Baaba Maal's band, Cissoko expands the kora's range and blends Latin and jazz elements with traditional West African music. His family backs him on most of the album's tracks, playing djembe, tama, balafon and acoustic bass and guitar. They also contribute vocals, as does Maal, making Kora Revolution as much a celebration of family and friends as it is an exploration of contemporary African music. That's a testament to the power of the kora playing here, which is incredibly lovely. Cissoko has appeared on albums by Michael Brook/Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, too. Listen & Enjoy it.

R.I.P - Kaouding Cissoko unfortunately died in 2003.

@leftysergeant I first heard of Kaouding Cissoko when I saw a song dedicated to him on Toumani Diabate's "The Mande Variations." He seems to have left his mark on the music. This piece is superb.

Beautiful, simple music. As if from an ancient source of the earth. And so clean images. Golden sand, blue, waves of the desert. Fairy tale. Silhouettes of people as the colorful shapes reaching dreams ahead ... From eternity to eternity ... A wonderful clip ... Thank you ...
