{"product_id":"jahkasa_kakistocratie-vinyl_2024_lad","title":"KAKISTOCRATIE (vinyl)","description":"A committed singer and talented musician from Burkina Faso, Jahkasa created a style he calls \"Balafon Reggae.\" This son, from a family of griots and musicians in Ouagadougou, settled in France in 2009. He released a first album in 2014, 'Pompafric', quickly followed by a second in 2016, 'Enfants du Pays'. His collaborations with artists such as Natty Dread, Toure Kunda, Yaniss Odua, Fantanh Mojah, and the musicians of Danakil, contributed to a reciprocal richness. With the album \"Née chikora,\" released in 2019, he won all the awards in his country: four Marley d'or, a first in Burkina Faso, and was nominated at the Victoires du Reggae for \"best African reggae album\" in 2017 in France, then Kunde for best diaspora artist. The child of Faso was quickly spotted by his mentor: Tiken Jah Fakoly, who, captivated by the originality of his stage performances, regularly invited him to open for his last European and African tour, and who accompanied him in the production of the album. 'Kakistocratie', recorded in Bamako, will be released in March 2024. \"A style at the crossroads of traditional Mandingo artists (Salif Keita, Amy Koité), and reggae artists (Bob Marley, Tiken Jah, Alpha Blondy or Lucky Dube) that Jahkasa discovered later. The result is a modern sound where guitar, balafon and traditional percussion are superimposed on committed lyrics that evoke Françafrique, but also more broadly human relationships.\" --- France-Inter ---. \"We can only salute JahKasa for this album bringing a fresh wave of modernity while remaining proudly rooted in Burkinabè tradition. We can only wish to hear about it more often! To spread without moderation to the four corners of the world\" --- Reggae.fr ---.","brand":"Jahkasa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310242382168,"sku":null,"price":23562209.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3521381580976_50c75788-4303-4157-9e85-55748177fa06.jpg?v=1760318548","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/jahkasa_kakistocratie-vinyl_2024_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
