Our Music CD of the Month Selection is Bagola by Trio Da Kali.
Immerse yourself in the magnificent tradition of griot music from Mali in West Africa with the entrancing album Bagola. The Trio Da Kali ensemble features master balafon (a type of xylophone) player Lassana Diabaté, the equally talented Madou Kouyaté on bass ngoni (a large lute), and the exquisite vocalist Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté.
Both individually and as a group, the musicians are known for their diverse collaborations, ranging from the world-renowned Kronos Quartet (on the trio's album Ladilikan) to American blues legend Taj Mahal, with whom Lassana Diabaté performed on the acclaimed 1999 album Kulanjan. Together, these remarkable musicians have more than earned the epithet "Mali's supergroup."
