Product Description
Sory Kandia Kouyaté moved from the royal court of a local ruler to the urbane company of revolutionary artists and future politicians until in 1958, the year of Guinea's independence, his powerful, sonorous voice was at its peak. Here is where our story begins.. This authoritative 2CD album with 40-page booklet including rare, intimate photos never before seen outside his immediate circle charts both sides of his music, the contemporary and the traditional, to explain why today, almost four decades after his death, he is still the ultimate point of reference for all West African griots. "this is shivers-down-the-spine stuff" The Independent

Fantastic voice, wonderful playing and excellent recordings. One of the the very best albums of traditional music from Mali, or indeed Africa, that I've heard. Great value too with over 2 hours of masterful music. Buy and enjoy!
