La Guinéenne

Description

Mory Kanté is one of the greatest figures in African music. From his beginnings alongside the Super Rail Band of Bamako - the founding orchestra of West African music in the 70s that also revealed the immense Salif Keita - to his explosion onto the international stage with "Yéké Yéké", Mory Kanté remains one of the most emblematic voices of Africa. With this new album La Guinéenne, Mory Kanté sings a resplendent tribute to the women of this world who have "nourished, educated, served, cared for, and instructed" us. Between tradition and modernity, Mory Kanté rediscovers the sound that is at the origin of his success, with a modern discourse open to the future and the youth of Guinea and Africa: modern African music and life must draw from tradition before finding themselves in the world. This is a message that this singular artist puts into practice every day of his extraordinary destiny.
