SOBA reconnects the links between Mandingue song and Mississippi bluesFormed by singer-guitarist Moussa Koita, harmonica player Vincent Bucher and drummer Émile Biayenda, SOBA reconnects the links between Mandingue song and Mississippi blues.To trace the roots of the blues, you must go from Chicago to the Mississippi, travel south to New Orleans via Memphis, then set sail for the Caribbean and finally cross the Atlantic to the shores of West Africa. You can watch Du Mali au Mississippi: Feel Like Going Home, by Martin Scorsese, or dive into the historical recordings, from American pioneer W. C. Handy to the Malian master Ali Farka Touré. To fully understand the journeys that shape the eternal youth of the blues, you can finally listen to a luminous album that makes everything clear: Fiman, by the Franco-Burkinabe trio SOBA.
