The Midwest Book Review, CD Review >>
Africa to Appalachia is a music CD collaboration between recording artist and banjo expert Jayme Stone, who traveled to the African nation of Mali in search of the aspects of African music not readily available in modern America, and Mansa Sissoko, a griot singer and kora (a 21-string African harp) player. Stone's quest resulted in a bounty of rediscovery: perpetual polyrhythms, supersonic melodies, and traditional story-songs of timeless legends. Africa to Appalachia is a wondrous rebirth of native musical traditions, flowing out of a questing artist's search for the culture, tradition, expressions, and connections that can't be found through a high-tech internet search engine. Highly recommended especially for public library music CD collections and international music shelves.
