Kadialy Kouyate - Terri Kunda - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Duress is the fourth album from LAs psychedelic rockers Froth and their second for Wichita. Named for cult movie actor Buddy Duress the project unfolds as a beautiful journey, with the notable addition of more electronics and beats than on previous albums. The band toured with Interpol and Ride on their last and already have a host of global touring booked for 2019. Put on the headphones, dive in and get lost in Duress!

Taking on the bold freedom of the skylark, Chinese pipa virtuoso Gao Hong and flamenco guitarist Ignacio Lusardi Monteverde fly together from ancient Asian dynasties, through the Thar desert to Andalusia, harmoniously combining cultures as the East meets West.

2022 . Echo celebrates the tenth anniversary of an extraordinary partnership between two virtuosos whose previous releases include 2018's album Soar and their 2013 debut Clychau Dibon. Echo marks the third part of this remarkable trilogy. The harp and kora share centuries of history, and Catrin and Seckou create a unique dialogue in a musical alliance of rare empathy, inspired by differences and similarities. Their atmospheric magic crosses genre boundaries, from folk and world music to classical and contemporary as their fingers flow like opposing tributaries into a single river of sound. Echo is the tender triumph of an extraordinary musical partnership that combines harp and kora, the modern and traditional, different cultures and common humanity.
