From Senegal to North Carolina back to Senegal again

Senegalese kora player and singer Diali Keba Cissokho immigrated to a small town in North Carolina in 2009, serendipitously, he found four American musicians who had an interest in African music, including Will Ridenour who had been studying kora and West African percussion since 1998 with many visits to Mali. Together they formed the group Kaira Ba, which mixes Senegalese Wolof and Manding music with a bit of Southern Rock. On their latest release, "Routes", Diali Keba Cissokho visited his native Senegal to record with musicians there, as well as recording with many musicians from North Carolina, 35 musicians in total. The result is a really strong album. We will also hear some Keith Jarrett and more from the astonishing and unique Pan-Pacific "Small Island Big Song" project.

Missed much of the shoooow live, as usual. Just returned. But nice to hear CKCU Pan-Galactic HQ did not burn to the ground. Now, if it were a zombie apocalypse alarm i'd be more worried.... ;^)
