Ignacio Lusardi Monteverde - Alondra - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Gao Hong (Chinese pipa master) discovers friendship, creativity and the joy of spontaneity with Kadialy Kouyate and his captivating Senegalese kora. With skilful balance of composition and improvisation, the two instruments and musicians converse through the expression of the strings - exchanging cultural stories, traditions and musical styles. This album shines a light on the new possibilities that can arise when peoplefrom all cultures open their hearts and minds to one another, when they abandon inhibitions and simply explore. As Gao concludes, Inchour music will not just be Chinese or Senegalese, it will be a new form of world music that melds styles and sensibilities from two continents.Inch
