Danama

Description

"Trustworthy." That is the meaning of "danama," this Bambara word from Mali. Trust in oneself, in others, in one's word, in desirable futures. To champion optimism, the drive toward the future, the strength of the collective, the wise magic of cross-cultural blending... in these troubled times of endless wars, nationalist retreats, or abundant natural disasters, encouraged by a predatory capitalism that delights in gluing us to our screens? Then it takes tons of trust. Sustained by the flame, the composure, and the stratagems of these scientists of afro-groove, not ignoring their sorrows or the scandals of History. This is the athletic art of Arat Kilo, which remains without question the best ethio-jazz orchestra in France, on the path of this fifth album recorded in spring 2024.
