Click Inside The Box MORE LINKS BELOW Cover Photo by Michael Weintrob DISCOGRAPHY(Titles Produced by Evan Reeves) Kambeng [2002: Boulder, CO] My Family [2005: Senegal; Boulder, CO] The Upshot [2008: Greeley, CO] BIO Boubacar Diébaté, a West African (Senegal) Griot, is an oral historian whose music is the tool to communicate and preserve his culture. He is a master player of the kora and the drums, as well as a celebrated songwriter. As an engaging performer and gifted recording artist, Diébaté continues to attract the attention of world-class musicians, and music industry professionals. REVIEWS There is an unmistakable familial, handed-down feel to the music. Boubacar’s lead vocals are equal parts balladeer and muezzin and the melodies have the right mix of hypnotic repetition and unhinged lilt. Not a lot of sugar coating as far as productions goes, and none needed. The music is naturally sweet, showcasing Diébaté’s expertise in bringing the kora back to its roots. -Tom Orr, Worldmusicportal.com Boubacar Diébaté’s music is an exciting crush of Western and African musical influences, slammed together in a beautiful mush. The end result is wild and unpredictable, a clash of culture which is more than memorable. Absolutely brilliant. -Mish Mash Music Reviews The music that is generated is rhythmic, folky and beautiful. A powerful and captivating sound. -Robbie Oyugi, Ujama News LINKS Johnny Kloberdanz Video Tiedo, Featuring * Béla Fleck * The Man Without a Care, by * Kreg Viesselman, * Featuring Boubacar Diébaté Pantonal, by * Mr. Anonymous *(Jeep from The Samples), Featuring Boubacar Diébaté Not Your Parents' Music [PLEASE CLICK] |
