notes

"Abdoul’s first album recorded in Mali is an explosive demonstration of rhythmic mastery. With his tasteful articulation of space, accent and phrase on a broad range of instruments, from djembe, to double nang-nang (bell), to Jeli dun-dun, to bongolo, Abdoul re-affirms his knowledge and mastery of the vast percussion traditions of Mali. Combining diverse arrangements with deep cultural knowledge, Abdoul creates a fresh and unique sound, at once modern and traditional. Accompanying are some of Bamako’s hottest young players, featuring Adama Couloubally, a soulful vocalist and rising star of the kamelen ngoni. Listen to Abdoul as he truly makes the drum speak." - Label Press Release.

Recorded 1st week of February @ Issa Couloubally's farm outside of Bamako, Mali.
