LP version.
Alpha Ousmane "Hama" Sankaré
(aka
Pedro
) is a legend. He has anchored the bands of many great artists of Mali:
Ali Farka Toure
,
Afel Bocoum
,
le Troupe Regionale de Niafunké
,
l'Orchestre de Gao
,
Songhoy Allstars
, and
Mamadou Kelly
's
BanKaiNa
, and he can be heard on many of the seminal recordings of Mali's music. He is the master of contemporary calabash percussion and defined it's the playing style. He has toured the world. Hama's influence is unchallenged as composer, arranger, and instrumentalist. Unbelievably,
Ballébé - Calling All Africans
is the first album in his own name! A musical adventurer, Hama explores sounds and is constantly expanding his repertoire. His knowledge of tradition reaches deeply into the past as he looks into the future for inspiration. For this album, Hama sought a variety of sounds. He asked Grammy-winning guitarist
Cindy Cashdollar
, whom he met in Woodstock New York in 2016, to bring her distinctive slide guitars to some of the tunes. He also asked the young singer
Sekou Touré
to join him.
Oumar Konaté
brought his guitar virtuoso skills and
Sekou Bah
anchors the tracks on bass. Also joining in were
Mahalmadane Traoré
on drums and
Brehima "Yoro" Cissé
and
Bouba Cissao
on traditional stringed instruments. To explore contemporary electronic sounds, Hama asked
David Harrow
in Los Angeles to mix two of the songs, pushing genre boundaries. Hama looked for loops and effects in the mix to reflect his diverse influences, while always remaining centered in Niafunke desert blues, his home in the Niger River Delta of Mali. A tour de force by Malian master musician Hama Sankaré. CD version includes two tracks: an instrumental of "Middo Wara" and a radio edit of "Haira Alhawa".
