Oumar Konate - ADDOH
Oumar Konaté’s international debut album. Recorded during the historic 2012-2013 political crisis in Mali, it represents a sound treatise on the experiences of Malians during the rebellion and coup d’etat that shattered their country. Recorded in Africa and the US, these tracks reflect contributions by several master musicians. The combination of ancient and modern instruments reveals the sophistication of the many gifted artists in Africa. Versed in tradition and connected by global media, they combine sounds in new ways expressing aspirations and ideas. Through it all Konate’s guitar shreds.
