Deep TR-808 bass meets pan-Maghreb beats, timeless voices and futurist visions. AMMAR 808 is Sofyann Ben Youssef, the sonic mastermind behind the Tunisian sensation: Bargou 08. King Ayisoba
African Blues and hypnotic dub, psychedelic funk and an almost supernatural kind of desert garage. Ready to embrace the future while proudly maintaining the rich tradition of Malian folk. King Ayisoba
Without question Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba has revolutionized the sound and narrative possibilities of the ngoni, the lute-like instrument that is essential to Mali’s Griot culture. King Ayisoba
supported by 17 fans who also own “Tribe (feat. O.C. Akomfem & Shiallo)”
I love the premise of this album and the process of its creation. The Alba (reminiscent of the cowbell) has indeed been elevated to a respectable status IMHO. Laura Bruno Lilly
