Taranta Nera
Officina Zoè, Baba Sissoko, Sourakhata Dioubate, Mamani Keita
IRMA Records - Italian World Music, 2012
Two places in the South of the World, both custodians of ancient traditions based on the simplest and therefore deepest human artistic forms: the voices and the percussions.
The voices as communication and expression: just as the voices of the griots bring news to the remote villages of the savannah, the work songs of the Salentine women mark the hard work in the fields.
