The third release from TEMBO, the highly anticipated UK-based label dedicated to discovering world music, is a reissue of a 1979 album featuring the soothing, organic soul and ambient grooves of West African female griot Fanta Damba, accompanied by the traditional kora.
The narrative singing voice of Fanta Damba—an extremely rare female griot—and the performance of Batourou Sekou Kouyaté, a master of the legendary “Peach Blossom Spring” kora, whose work was recently released as the landmark first reissue on the TEMBO label, come together here in a quiet, gentle, and soothing harmony. Five tracks in total. The world’s first digitally remastered 180g heavyweight vinyl reissue.
