"African flute, balafon, djembe and dunun drums, bolon, and more combine in these skillfully crafted renditions of traditional Mandinka rhythms and songs, from Guinea, West Africa."
After 10 years of study, 6 trips to Africa, 2 bouts of malaria, 1 emergency evacuation on a cargo jet, and 7 months in the recording studio, I'm proud (and relieved!) to say that the new Black Bear Moon Rhythm Ensemble CD is finally here!
More info, sound clips, and purchasing information here.
Entitled "Wading into the River Djoliba", the full-length CD features 11 of our arrangements of traditional Mandinka rhythms and songs, performed on the tambin (African flute), balafon (wooden xylophone), djembe and dunun drums, bolon, and more.
A copy is waiting for you here!
