Recorded in Senegal, this collaboration between singer/kora player Cissoko and German trumpter Goetze is a warm and soothing set of original compositions in the African folk tradition, lightly accented by European trumpet jazz. Both performers are accomplished. Cissoko has a warm and emotional voice with quiet power, his kora is fluid and assured. Goetze’s trumpet threads through in interesting ways that sound almost improvised at times. *1. Slow, solo kora then voice, trumpet adds a melancholy thread. 2. Relaxed, fluid duet with a quiet melody and a gentle warmth. *3. Reflective, serene with soaring vocals & liquid trumpet melody. 4. Downtempo with trilling kora alternating with sweetly gentle horn. *5. Slow, warm vocals, dreamy kora. Gentle and peaceful. 6. Slow kora and vocals, the trumpet meanders through. 7. Down/midtempo, nicely integrated voice, kora, trumpet. 8. Light and warm with the trumpet taking a more obvious role. 9. Slow, sweetly lyrical with nicely warm vocals. 10. Relaxed blend, muted trumpet, trilling kora. | ||
