Product DescriptionCaptured in Mali at Yeelen Studios during the 2012 coup d'etat, the sessions feature West African heavyweights Khaira Arby, Adama Dramé, Bassekou Kouyate, Boubacar Sidibé, & Vieux Farka Touré collaborating with Northern California/New Orleans livewire JeConte in exciting border crossing musical exploration. The album is a call for peace in Mali delivered through hypnotically soulful tunes that merge West African rhythms, Reggae strains and Afro-Pop grooves with seductive New Orleans Blues and earthy California Rock n' Roll.
