ABOUT
Born in Bamako, Mali, Baba Sissoko is the undisputed master of the tamani (the original talking drum), which he started to play as a child thanks to the teaching of his grandfather, Djeli Baba Sissoko. Baba Sissoko also plays the ngoni, kamalengoni, guitar, balafon, calabash, sildrum, and he sings! He comes from a great and ancient dynasty of griots from Mali. His shows are a unique experience with strong blues hues, where tradition compares and blends with the rhythms of Afro-American music, featuring peaks of Afro Beat, Funk, and Psychedelia.
"Mediterranean Blues" is a clear indication of his course: the powerful and bitter voice of Baba Sissoko, the upbeat beat as in the Afro-American notes (re)started from Jamaica, a deadly assist of mouth harmonica pouring generous blues spices over the whole, an enchanting flow.
Each piece of his repertoire has "Blues" as the second word: there are imposing climaxes, grooves, the savory funk, the bewitching splendor of the pentatonic scale that with five notes paints impressive landscapes of the soul.
