• The music of Diom de Kossa originates from the dense forests of northern Ivory Coast where he played the Yadoh drums in his village. Being the master drummer in the Ivory Coast national ballet for a decade and an enthusiastic collaborator with European musicians has given him a unique musical toolbox

• On this CD he departs from his usual traditional lineup to include Norwegian jazz and folk performers. The compositions are all his but created in close research relationship with the band members who are all well versed in African music

Reviews

Songlines - Nigel Tassell

De Kossa's largely European band clearly know their African musica and the very occasional awkward moments of jazz-funk noodle aside, they enhance this impressively focused set that's both authentic and propulsive.
