On a beautiful summers evening here in Cambridge we found ourselves once again guests of The Centre of African Studies. In front of a warm and generous audience it was our honour to introduce the album Kamélé Yeleen, and perform arrangements of compositions by Moussa Pantio Diabaté as well as our own repertoire.
Accompanied by images of the recording of the album in Bobo Dioulasso and of the hugely talented Burkinabé musicians featured on the recording, we performed Moussa's song "Malfaiteurs" as well as Folignouma's new arrangement of "Yiri Ba" (The big tree) transposed from balafon onto accordion and guitar.
This summer we will be travelling to France to perform at a festival, and busking on the streets of Cambridge. We hope to see some of you again soon!
