Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
The band I play in and manage, Toumaranke (led by my husband Moussa Sylla) have released our debut album, Takhaudi Dekau – Inside the Chicken’s Mouth, recorded in The Gambia in november 2014. It’s been an incredible experience, the process of conceptualizing, creating, recording and releasing music always is; but in our case doubly so as we did it all ourselves with the help of lots of friends, some crowdfunding money, and a willing sound engineer. The album is a direct result of the power of determination and co-operation – literally a dream come true. There's a nice article, with some of the photos, on a friend's travel blog - Travel with Kat, or a more detailed write up on my wordpress blog - Toumaranke.
