Tunya album Product Description

Tunya album by Dunyakan / N'Faly Kouyate was released Jun 08, 2010 on the Galileo label. N'Faly Kouyaté is the energetic kora player with Afro Celt Sound System, which fused firm links between Africa, Celtic music, and techno. Tunya music CDs He's hardly alone for this solo album, backed by the technically very able Afro-European band Dunyakan. Tunya songs Unfortunately, for much of the disc, the musicality is eclipsed by the musicians seeing just how busy they can be -- the everything-including-the-kitchen-sink approach becomes wearying after a time. Tunya album That makes the three-track interlude in the middle especially welcome, the all vocal "Niyo," for instance. Tunya CD music It might be densely arranged, but it comes as a breath of fresh air, as does the drumming of the following cut, "Atypical Conversation," or the gentle "Kobiyé." That said, the attempt to blend the kora with a string section on "Kora Ballade" never quite works because of a horribly simplistic arrangement. At times this ranges into the overblown -- did "Love Hyppo" really need phasing? -- when more of Kouyaté's superb kora work and high griot vocals would have been much better. It's a shame -- there's potential here, but it's wasted by a lack of direction. ~ Chris Nickson Photographers: Thomas Dorn; Christian Carleer. Arranger: N'Faly Kouyate. Personnel: N'Faly Kouyate (vocals, kora, balafon, programming); Mady Kouyate (guitar); Muriel Kouyate (djembe, percussion, background vocals); Eric Renwart (programming); Celine T'hooft, Didier Likeng (background vocals).
