Touki
Work:: Touki (S1152021735)
Production:: (T767432348)
Amadou Diagne has centuries of West African music at his fingertips. Cory Seznec is a musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist. This project is the original fruit borne of a genuine dream to communicate curiosity, raise important issues, and bring different worlds together through music. Here the kora dances playfully with and around the banjo, the guitar, the fiddle and the cello; the calabash and other percussion add powerful, driving beats; and silky voices entrance the listener. The influences are many, and rather than remaining in any one tradition, the touki - the musical voyage itself - is the destination.
