Interpreter: Kimi Djabate
Label: Cumbancha
Location: Guinea-Bissau

The languorous tones of balafon player-singer (and occasional guitarist) Djabate lead a contemporary-sounding band through some of his self-composed tunes. On his second solo CD release, the blend of balafon, electric bass and horns is fairly irresistible, especially on the lead-in track Kodé. One to be consumed at leisure.
