Baba Sissoko – Amadran (homerecords.be, 2019)
“Amadran” is Baba Sissoko‘s skillful celebration of his family and his griot musical heritage. This excellent and engaging album is a return to long-lasting Mandinka roots music, focusing on vocals, the tama (talking drum) and ngoni.
“For me, this album is a journey, a souvenir…it’s life! This album comes from my heart and I recorded it with all the love and respect that I have for my family because I learned from them that the most beautiful things are the simplest ones. This music and album are timeless.”
