Das amerikanische Cumbancha Label startet demnächst eine neue Serie, die Cumbancha Discovery Series . Den Anfang macht Kimi Djabaté aus Guinea-Bissau.
“
The first release on the Cumbancha Discovery line will be from Kimi Djabaté, a guitarist, percussionist and balafon player from the West African country of Guinea-Bissau who lives in Lisbon, Portugal. Djabaté’s sound is acoustic and melodic with a bit of an Afro-Latin swing, reminiscent of Habib Koité, another Cumbancha artist. „When Kimi sent me his demo, it was one of those rare occasions where I fell in love with every song. I think Kimi has the potential to be an African music star,“ says Edgar. Djabaté’s album Karam will be released in July.
Auf MySpace kann man sich schon einige Stücke anhören.
