Product Details

Bignona is a town in the Casamance region of southern Senegal, and that geography runs deep through Louis 2000's sound. The Didadi rhythm he builds around is rooted in that borderland culture, where Senegalese, Guinean, and Malian musical traditions have long cross-pollinated into something all their own.

For his debut album, this outstanding guitarist hits the mark. With a unique guitar style blending blues, swing, and the dance rhythm of his region, the ""Didadi,"" he delivers a striking and subtle production. With three fabulous female singers with extraordinary voices and a few unusual instruments, he lays the first stone of a unique universe, soft and sensual, reminiscent of the long evenings of southern Mali.""A major album... essential listening."" Vibrations - Elisabeth Stoudmann.""Another gem released by Frikyiwa."" Télérama FFF - Eliane Azoulay.""An album that will stand the test of time."" Mondomix - Benjamin Minimum.""A graceful guitarist as we rarely find anymore."" Africultures - Gérald Arnaud.
