Toumani Diabate - Boulevard de l'Independance [FLAC]

Toumani Diabate's Symmetric Orchestra - Boulevard de l'independence 2006 Brought to you by TQMP The Quality Music Project BBC Radio 3 World Music Award 2007. Nominee. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldmusic/a4wm2007/2007_toumani_diabate.shtml Hot on the heels of Toumani Diabate's Grammy-winning collaboration with late guitar genius Ali Farka Toure, Mali's leading kora player comes up trumps with this energetic ensemble piece. Those expecting the sparse, spectral ambience of that CD or previous solo efforts like New Ancient Strings or Kaira are in for a pleasant shock. As the group's name suggests, there's a balance between tradition and innovation, youth and maturity, electric and acoustic, quiet interludes and rocking dance numbers. This album is the culmination of a decade of Friday night jam sessions at Bamako's Hogon Club and showcases a wide range of musicians and singers, including Kasse Mady Diabate, Soumaila Kanoute and Morissanda Kamissoko. There are scorching horns, fierce percussion and even atmospheric string arrangements. But the one constant throughout is Diabate's kora playing, which is magical. -- Jon Lusk http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/whp2/ Tracks 01- Toumani 02- Boulevard de l'Independance 03- Yafama 04- Mali Sadio 05- Africa Challenge 06- Wasso 07- Mamadou Diaby 08- Tapha Niang 09- Single Artwork included.
