Free Music Notes for Sabou
Free Music Review: Excellent, excellent, excellent !
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is beautiful from start to finish, although the songs do tend to blend together in a single listening. However, you can't go wrong with including EVERY cut in a mix. In fact, you must !
Sabou Poster
In 1988, a Guin?e-born kora (West African harp-lute) maestro burst upon the scene with "Yek? Yek?," a crowd-pleasing electrified dance hit. But like most Manding jelis (aka griots---hereditary musician/praise-singer and/or historians), his success followed a rigorous childhood apprenticeship, after which Kant? began to perform throughout Africa before eventually migrating to Paris. These days, he is also an activist, having been appointed F.A.O. ambassador in the mission to fight hunger and poverty worldwide. Sabou constitutes a long-awaited return to Kant?'s ancestral heritage, an impassioned, crisply produced acoustic set complete with breathy flutes, chime-laced percussion, and joyous call-and-response female choirs. But like his former Rail Band collaborator, Salif Keita, whose recent unplugged masterpiece, Moffou, created a sensation, Kant? is incapable of producing a stuffy, hide-bound retread. Every track crackles with modernity and invention, as refreshing and changeable as tomorrow's winds. Do not---repeat, do not---miss this one! --Christina RodenSabou is an all-acoustic release by the legendary West African singer and kora player Mory Kant?, the first African artist to sell a million singles with 'Y?k? Y?k?', which topped the European charts in 1988. An exceptionally talented griot from Guinea in West Africa and a contemporary with Salif Keita in the Rail Band back in the 1970s, Mory Kant? has produced a stunning new album of depth and poise that is firmly grounded in his traditional griot roots.
