Lionel Loueke, gitarist bij o.a. Herbie Hancock, presenteert muziek van zijn nieuwe album met zijn vaste band. Typisch West-Afrikaanse ritmes en melodieën uit zijn jeugd klinken door in de eigentijdse jazz van Lionel Loueke. Dit najaar verschijnt zijn nieuwe album waarop hij, naast bekende gastmusici, opnieuw samenwerkt met zijn oorspronkelijke trio en met saxofonist John Ellis, met wie hij ook in het Bimhuis zal optreden.
