Free Music Notes for Kora Revolution
Free Music Review: Absolutely gorgeous
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful album that combines georgeous melodies with some powerful rhythms. Clearly Kaouding Cissoko was a master at his instrument but his lyrical approach predominates over technique. I'd recommend this to anyone who is interested in hearing this unique instrument (Kora) or who enjoys music from west africa.
Kora Revolution Poster
If you are one of those folks who wish that the traditional sounds of Senegalese music were more dominant in the work of Baaba Maal, here's your opportunity to enjoy those elements more fully. Kaouding Cissoko has been the Daande Lenol band's kora player for a long time and more recently provided an essential ingredient in the recordings of Afro Celt Sound System. Here he stands out front on an album of bright, poppy tunes, many with the subtle Latin groove so essential to the Senegalese pop sound. The band that backs him is a family affair of balafons, guitars, percussion, flutes, electric bass, and female vocals; the result is decidedly folkie and introspective (particularly in contrast to the Baaba Maal sound). It's more a counterrevolution, actually, a positive look back to the acoustic roots of the music: the complex rhythms, the call-and-response vocals, and above all the kora playing of one of West Africa's masters, at long last in the limelight. --Louis GibsonInternational Music CDs
