Marabi music
Sabolan CD (2004) (Import)
 $18.75 
Cissoko himself plays acoustic kora, and his skill is quite breathtaking. Given his reputation in Europe and his native Guinea, as well as his pedigree, the debut from kora player Ba Cissoko and his group arrives with plenty to live up to. But things take a tilt into the unknown when the band's other kora player, Sekou Kouyate amplifies his instrument. There's plenty of dance music on hand here; all of it from the Manding tradition, but given a healthy, and sometimes daring edge that makes it contemporary without being deliberately modern. For once, though, all the hype is more than justified.
