about

All of the tunes found on Warnama, except for Namou, which was penned by Glauco Cataldo, were written by vocalist Tarang Cissokho, who also plays the 22 string kora heard on these recordings. It’s worth mentioning that Tarang is the great grandson of the Soundjoulou Cissokho, who is known across Africa as “the king of the kora.” The songs are sung in either Mande, Wolof or Italian dialect (Namou). They were polished up and arranged by the band after being thoroughly explored and tested during extensive jam sessions. The topics they address speak on infidelity (Warnama),clandestine politics and the redistribution of power (Yow Me De), the Mouride saint Saliou (Saliou), the Senegalese dancer Germaine Acogny (Gay Nago) and honouring your musical lineage (Namou). The EP was recorded in Studio vom Dach in Lucerne; it was engineered by Timo Keller. All of the songs were tracked live with just minor overdubs, hence the the raw, visceral feel.
