Aly Keita - Akwaba Inisene

Aly Keïta follows a natural momentum, one that has already propelled him for a long time to play alongside musicians such as Dhruba Ghosh, Omar Sosa, Paolo Fresu, Trilok Gurtu, Joe Zawinul and many others. And here again, he knows that his balaphon will be able to hold it's own in a project where one encounters a multifaceted Africa and a jazz that is conscious and respectful of it's roots. The music sets off in a medley of voluptuous pleasure and urgency that is unique to the musicians, whose chief concern is to replace all the chattering with a communication grounded in pleasure.
