Description
One of Mali_s most beloved and dynamic artists, Kon is a force to be reckoned with. Her captivating performances in the city_s local maquis clubs very often last for hours, as Kon runs the gamut of emotion from joy to despair, fury to tenderness, wielding that astounding voice with grace and power. For her debut album, Kon might have been content with showing off that soulful instrument on a traditional repertoire of songs.
Instead she_s teamed with Irish-born, California-based rock producer Jacknife Lee _ and reimagined the Malian sound in ways leftfield and ground breaking.
Welcome, then, BAMANAN, a collaboration that connects the great ancient kingdoms of Mali and the bustling modern street life of its capital, Bamako to a remote recording studio nestled within California_s Topanga Canyon. That bridges deep tradition and forward-facing innovation.
