Kakande gets on board
Kakande
play live, celebrating the release of the band’s debut cd Dununya (Jumbie Records).
Kakande is a big West African / American band that combines African and European instruments, rhythms and melodies. The centerpiece is the brilliant balafon (xylophone) player from Guinea, Famoro Dioubate. Kora (harp-lute) player Yacouba Cissoko extends the traditional vibe - but there are also guitars, drum kit, woodwind instruments - even cello.
Kakande warms up tonight for the Dununya cd release party at SOBs, 204 Varick St in NYC on Sunday February 24, where they'll be joined by Guinean music icon
Mory Kante.
