BA CISSOKO (GUINEA) - 23.3.2006 - DO 20.1. ZVYHODNENE VSTUPNE!!!

 Africky Jimi Hendrix? Ve svych 38 letech je Ba Cissoko tim nejradikalnejsim muzikantem kontinentu. Hraje na harfe podobnou koru, zatimco jeho o 20 let mladsi kolega pouziva jeji elektrickou verzi, a hrac na basovou loutnu se na koncertech prevteluje v maniaka-tanecnika. Skupina byla senzaci veletrhu Womex v roce 2004, kdy byla take nominovana na cenu BBC, absolvovala rozsahle evropske turne vcetne prestiznich festivalu Womad a Angouleme a umistila se ve finale souteze francouzskeho rozhlasu RFI. Energie a originalita jejich koncertu je unikatni nejen v africkem, ale i svetovem meritku.

If Jimi Hendrix was born in Africa, his name would be Ba Cissoko. In his 38 years, Ba is the Africa's most radical musician. While he plays the traditional kora, his 20 years younger accomplice uses an electrified version of this instrument and the bolon bass player transforms himself into maniac dancer on stage. In 2004, the band became main attraction of the Womex trade fair, performed at Womad and in Angouleme, and made it through to the finals of the RFI World Music Award 2004. Their energy and inventiveness is far beyond both African and world standards.
