Farafina - Faso Denou (1993) [FLAC] TQMP

Farafina - Faso Denou (1993) - FLAC DESCRIPTION Founded in 1978 by Mahama Konaté, one of the best balaphone-players in West Africa, the polyrhythmic dance and percussion group Farafina comes from Burkina Faso (known till 1984 as Upper Volta) and for the last twenty years has been giving concerts all round the world. Due to its celebrated co-operation with the Rolling Stones, the Japanese sound-architect Ryuichi Sakamoto and the integration-pioneer Jon Hassell, it was one of the first groups to contribute decisively to the rising popularity of world music in Europe and the USA. After Mahama Konate left in 1990, the group broke up then rejoined a few years later in a slightly modernised version produced by Billy Cobham and Peter Gabriel. After awhile Konaté began to publish his traditional music under the name Farafina Lili. The 8 musicians, dancers and singers of Farafina conjure up from the tara (talking drum), the tama (a wooden drum whose pitch can be changed under pressure from the arm), the djembe (a drum shaped like a chalice and covered with goatskin), and the balaphone (a forerunner of the xylophone) a glittering fabric of sounds, melodies and rhythms, which have made the group world-famous. Its music mingles features from the mandan tradition of the bambaran griots from Burkina Faso with melodies and rhythms from the neighbouring lands Mali, Niger, Benin and Ghana. The group plays in the tradition of those which for centuries have been accompanying griots (singers and storytellers) in West Africa, and bases its polyrhythmic sound on two balaphones and a set of drums and rattles. -- extracted from http://www.culturebase.net/artist.php?308 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TRACKLIST 01.
