Review:
Coming from a long line of Guinean (Conakry) Griots, M'Bady Kouyaté is one of the best Kora players of the Manding world; an over-talented instrumentalist, an exceptional improviser, a singer-storyteller with a bluesy, rocky voice in the greatest epic tradition. Accompanied by his wife Diariou Kouyaté with her splendid, vibrant voice, and surrounded by his instrumental ensemble, he made the most of his sojourn at the third MASA in Abidjan to record an album where instrumental pieces alternate with traditional songs and personal compositions. On this album you can (re)discover a musical universe of an extraordinary richness.
