Percussive random wonderful
On this busy Tuesday morning I’m happy to say that I stumbled upon a random musical find: Dakar’s Moussa Sissoko playing with jazz pianist Joachim Kühn.
Ala Tamala, the track I’m going to post today from the 1999 album of the same name, is an amazingly energetic fusion track for the workday. Djembe, conga and piano on fire.
You can learn more about the album and order it at the label’s site (if you speak German), blueflame records. If you prefer to shop for downloads you can grab a copy on emusic.

hello mattgy. i am so pleased to see your site–a friend introduced me to it recently. i have spent a bitty bit of time in senegal. first a month and then i went back for five. fell in love and got married to an incredible and beautiful percussionist. i met many a talented musician and it is so nice that you are spreading the good word of senegalese music. i really love the music of alioune mbaye nder, who my husband plays with occasionally. i am also a big fou malade fan. thanks for doing what you do.

Will you be able to unearth anything interesting in Argentina?
