Le Guess Who?: Terakaft (Mali), Eric Copeland, Mad Professor
In the Malinese desert the entire kosmos is reduced to only a few elements. While the sun and sand scorch you during the day, the stars guard over you at night. In a similar fashion, the traditional guitar patterns and percussion of Terakaft will bring you in a hypnotized trance-like state and transport you there. And you know you’re in good hands: founding member Kedou is a celebrity in his own land, known for his part in the history of the rebellion as well as his musical contributions in Tinariwen and Terakaft. Also samples and beats by Eric Copeland (USA) and dub reggae by The Mad Professor Neal Fraser (Guyana).
