Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba return with a new single, new album and live dates. Mali's ngoni ace returns. After his celebrated debut album Segu Blue and the Grammy nominated follow up I speak fula, hundreds of concerts all over the globe, an appearance headlining the AfroCubism project and, just a few months ago, stunning appearances at the latest Africa Express events performing with Sir Paul McCartney, Damon Albarn and many others, Bassekou Kouyate is back with his new album. Jama ko means 'a big gathering of people'. It was recorded with an entirely new line-up including Bassekou's two sons Madou and Moustafa Kouyate, ngoni ace Abou Sissoko and a number of other young talented musicians from Bamako. It became political by accident.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). 1. 30. Jama ko. 4:39. This is the January 2013 album from Malian ngoni player Bassekou Kouyate, following-on from previous releases & Blue' and the Grammy nominee (not winner) & Speak Fula'. The album features other Malian musicians playing traditional African instruments, including Kouyate's musician-sons Madou and Moustafa and fellow ngoni-player Abou Sissoko. It was recorded in Bamako and produced in Montreal by Howard Bilerman. The songs focus on the political situation in Mali, and to a non-Malian audience may seem rather obscure and parochial in content.

Listen to music from Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba like Deli, Kanougnon (feat. Majid Bekkas) & more.

Kouyate's electrification of his ngoni lute is just as effective a sign of resistance: fed through a wah-wah pedal, his serpentine, fleet-fingered lead lines gain a fresh, assertive power on songs.

Xalam – Abou Sissoko. Xalam – Bassekou Kouyate. All songs recorded by Howard Bilerman at Studio Bogolan (Bamako, Mali) and mixed by Howard Bilerman and Jay Rutledge at hotel2tango (Montreal, Canada). Except 'Poye 2' and 'Wagadou' recorded at hotel2tango by Dominic 'Mocky' Salole, Howard Bilerman and Graham Lessard. Additional arrangement on 'Wagadou' and 'Jama Ko' Dominic 'Mocky' Salole

Ngoni ba also features two percussionists and the charged lead vocals of Amy Sacko. The sessions coincided with the Malian coup, and were surely sharpened by the country’s atmosphere of uncertainty. Kouyate’s solos are surrounded by a phased, burning aura, as his bent-note elaborations head further towards the desert rock of Tinariwen. He manages to explore this freshly electrified path without losing his acoustically sensitive properties, combining the crucial aspects of both loud and soft amplification levels. The small resonating box becomes a ringing chamber of contained power.
