The album was released in 1988 by Songhai, a project featuring Toumani Diabate, a kora player of Malian griot descent, and Danny Thompson, a British bassist who has collaborated with John Martyn and Alexis Korner, in the neo-flamenco group Ketama, which inherits the traditional folklore of Catalonia. On this album, the delicate and lustrous melody of the kora, a traditional string instrument from West Africa, dances like a flamenco guitar. The album is full of eclectic, stateless folklore, and is a wonderful mix of African and Spanish folk music. Original Spanish pressing.
