Quentin Dujardin and Pirillo, Aynur, Malouma and Jayme Stone & Mansa Sissoko.
Belgian guitar player Quentin Dujardin is a very adventurous young musician who has already performed alongside Moroccan, Spanish and African musicians. On this CD, you can hear him with Pirillo from Argentina, who plays a peculiar instrument: the Hang. This percussion instrument was created in Switzerland only ten years ago, and consists of two steel shells attached to one another and produces a sound that sounds something like a soft version of a ‘saucepan’.
An early CD by Kurdish singer Aynur
was forbidden for a short while, but the repression towards Kurdish cultural expression is gradually decreasing.
Three tracks from the CD Nüpel.
Next up is singer Malouma from Mauritania.
Her music is similar to Tinariwen, but is more varied and more political.
“Banjo meets kora” by Jayme Stone & Mansa Sissoko. Canadian musician Jayme Stone took his banjo to the place where the instrument was once created in its elementary form, and played together with a kora griot, Mansa Sissoko from Mali.
