Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba, DJ Said (Fatsouls Records)

KPFA presents:
Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba
DJ Said (Fatsouls Records)
Showtime: 8:00 PM (Doors: 7:30 PM)

All Ages 6 and Over Listen to "Musow - For Our Women" by Bassekou Kouyate and Ngoni Ba
“To all the rock ‘n’ rollers of the USA, I’m coming in February, 2010!”
That’s Malian maestro Bassekou Kouyate with a heads-up well worth heeding. A virtuoso picker and musical visionary whose work blurs the lines between West African and American roots music, Bassekou has jammed with Bonnie Raitt and Bono; won praise from Eric Clapton. He’s also dug into blues and country music with Taj Mahal and created freewheeling improvisations with banjo maverick Bela Fleck. Bassekou’s instrument, the ngoni, is a “spike lute” and an ancestor of the banjo, sharing its taut-skinned drum body, percussive attack, and varied picking techniques. Since 2005, Bassekou has led Ngoni Ba, the first-ever group built around not one but four ngonis—all played by members of his family. The group’s second CD "I Speak Fula" was released on Sub Pop in February of 2010 (preceded by a digital release via iTunes in December ‘09) on the occasion of Bassekou’s first U.S. tour as a headliner.
This tour is presented in collaboration with World Music Institute and is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
