An improvisational West African Dance band with a jazz flair in its use of bass, drums, keyboard and wind. Its signature sound comes through its Mandeng vocalist and guitar great, Abdoulaye “Djoss” Diabate, from Mali, and its Guinean Fula flute Master, Bailo Bah. Abdoulaye Diabate's voice soars with the depth and conviction conferred by his legacy as a griot and his own infectious good nature; Bailo Bah's virtuoso playing of the 3- holed tambin flute combines phrasing and expression that reach emotional and tex-tural heights.
