Byron Wallen & Bambaraka

AUTOMATIC ORIGINAL

recorded live on location in Morocco

Byron's love of Gnawa music was instant. Their music features a three stringed bass guitar/ lute, percussion in the form of massive metal castanets called quaqaba.From the start of the pumping guimbri, Byron could hear the heart of Africa, the soul of dub the beauty of the human spirit. Under the supervision of Martin Colliver they travelled to Morocco with engineer Chris Lewis in October 1996. The album features two traditional master musicians Oumarou Namazorou a sarewa flutist from Niger and Si Mohamed Chaouqi a Guimbri player from Morocco. The first track, Spirit of Aisha, is a musical homage to the Bambara lineage. It is a powerful duet between Byron and Si Mohamed Chaouqi., check this out. The music is a cultural destiny journey as the Gnawa were originally from the Malian /Bambara part of Africa where Oumarou is from.
