Touristes - Mother Afrika
SKU
08-FY8043
A group comprising both Senegalese and Italian musicians Touristes formed in Italy over seven years ago with the intention of mixing up melodies, rhythms, notes, refrains andsounds under the banner of a single musical voyage bringing African and European music closer together. The resulting music takes its inspiration from Senegalese songs that are subtly 'Westernized' in a way that avoids banalization. Tribal songs, rain dances, hunting and war chants and betrothal dances are enmeshed in new sonorities and atmospheres. [Felmay]~"~"~"~"~"~"~16~0~0~"~"~-
