Volume 1

Description

The ultimate result of three expeditions with field recordings as the key, launched by HISHAM MAYET in Burkina Faso between 2013 and 2015. Volume 1 features balafon pieces (dialogues with the spirits of the dead), of which KABARE BALAFON and LOBI BALAFON, two percussionists from the Lobi people, are the most eminent specialists in the southwest of the country. Imagine the repetitive patterns of TERRY RILEY or MONTE YOUNG, rendered with an emphasis and a dazzling verve. On the sleeve: explanatory notes accompanied by a detailed map of Burkina Faso. Ultra-limited edition!
