AfroCubism

AfroCubism is a transcendent collaboration between master musicians from Mali and Cuba, brought together by the producer of the most successful world-music album in history, Buena Vista Social Club. In fact, it’s the belated realization of the original project that Buena Vista came to be when the Malians were unable to travel to Havana for the recording session.

The super group features Buena Vista principal Eliades Ochoa (singer of Buena Vista Social Club signature song “Chan Chan”) and his band Grupo Patria, and a Who’s Who of Malian instrumentalists and singers, including the virtuosic kora player Toumani Diabate, guitar legend Djelimady Tounkara, ngoni player Bassekou Kouyate, and griot singer Kassé Diabaté.
