Solo kora and drum, plus vocals. All instruments played by him. A very clean, traditional sound with a strong spiritual content. Really beautiful. He doesn’t have a perfect voice, but somehow the roughness adds a sort of honesty. *1. Bright and flowing, with a sweet melody and a joyful sound. 2. Slow, elegant, like a hymn. Warm and lightly swaying. *3. Tripping kora, midtempo w/sweet use of drum. Picks up a bit. 4. Midtempo, slightly wailing vocals. Lovely solo kora. 5. Relaxed folk strings intro, layers of vocals, slightly sad. 6. Midtempo song of praise w/a gentle, warm melody. | ||
