Parasites & Sycophants, CD Review >>
Out of the same West African ground that spawned the ancient Mali empire, comes Basseko Kouyate and his band armed with their four ngonis. Kouyate’s latest album with his band Ngoni Ba—I Speak Fula, brings eleven warm earth passages prospered by the small stringed ancestor to the banjo. Kouyate was long ago inspired to move the music beyond where his ngoni forefathers had gone, and as result has become a savior for the instrument and a symbol of innovative Malian music. Kouyate’s wife, Sacko is a vocalist on the album, adding yet more complexion to this moving mirror of aural history.
