BAMANAN

Description

Malian artist Rokia Koné, also known as the Rose of Bamako, has teamed up with rock producer Jacknife Lee for her first international album, titled Bamanan. This album is a tribute to the Bambara people of southern Mali, their language, culture, and practices. Rokia Koné drew inspiration from the tradition of hereditary griots, the praise singers essential to the fabric of Malian society, to reimagine the Malian sound in a way that is both original and revolutionary. Lee supports the austere beauty of Rokia's voice with subtlety and sensitivity. Every nuance and every breath is heard, every inflection and every melodic improvisation is carefully preserved on this exciting debut album.
