Product Details

Frikyiwa's label has long operated at a crossroads rarely occupied with this much conviction, threading West African griot traditions and acoustic roots music through the machinery of European club culture. This compilation captures that synthesis in full, drawing on source recordings rooted in Mande musical lineage and handing them to producers whose work spans Ibiza, Berlin, and beyond.

FKW 016 brings together remixes by a diverse range of electronic producers such as Jeff Sharel, Luciano, Frédéric Galliano, Louis 2000, and Tokyo Black Star. Immersed in the Frikyiwa catalogue, they skillfully reinterpret acoustic vocals and traditional melodies from Black Africa, originally performed by artists including Hadja Kouyaté, Ali Boulo Santo, Lipitone, Filifin, and N'Gou Bagayoko. ""FKW 016 will surely dominate our turntable over the coming weeks. "" - Trax, Patrice Bardot ""Intoxicating!"" - Only for DJ Magazine ""Everything works here: this record drips with blues, soul, electronica, as well as house and hypnotic dance... A must-listen!"" - Parisétudiant. Com
