More info:
All the songs are original compositions by Vincent
Zanetti and Samba Diabate, with the exception of, "
Bamanan Deli
" a version of a song composed by Vincent Zanetti and the late
Soungalo Coulibaly, the djembe drum genius who left us too soon in 2004.
A brilliant ambassador of the griot musical tradition of Mali,
Samba Diabate
is one of Bamako's most highly-esteemed guitarists. His
playing stands apart as much for its rhythmic richness as it does for its luminous sense of melody. From Toumani Diabaté to Cheick Ti-
diane Seck, the most prestigious contemporary ambassadors of Mandinka music call on him.
Multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer, journalist and ethnomusicologist, specialist in West African musical traditions and dance
accompaniment,
Vincent Zanetti
is one of the few white masters of the djembe drum and Mandinka rhythms. A major figure in the world
music scene in Switzerland, he is also a
donso
, a member of the venerable and ancient initiatory brotherhood of hunters from the
Mandé in Mali. In Kala Jula, he is the voice carrier, storyteller or griot depending on the different contexts.
Constantly moving between West Africa and Europe, the two
artists created Kala Jula in 2011. Essentially instrumental and
acoustic, their music is deeply rooted in both the Mandinka
tradition, blues and jazz. "Mande
Kulu" opens up a new chapter in Kala Jula's musical development.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
