DESCRIPTION:
Discover more about his album 'Faso Denou' - https://realworldrecords.com/release/69/faso-denou/

Farafina's music has a polyrhythmic structure that is complex and yet immediately clear, but above all this music is an irresistible driving force to dance.

"The rhythmic framework is built around the tama (a little drum held high under the arm) of Tiawara Keïta, the eldest member of the group, who relies on his inner vision to observe life and fills his nights with music to express what he has seen. Constructed around this pillar, this metronome, is the rhythm: the two balafons (wooden xylophones whose slats are amplified by gourds) of Bakari Traoré and Baba Diarra; the bara (a bulbous calabash with goat skin) of Bêh Palm; and Soulemane Sanou's doumdou'da (a long cylindrical bass drum)."
