Description

Echoes of Timbuktu and Beyond in Congo Square on CD

Kings, Queens and lesser royal-emeshed in a web of til and toil; They crossed a sea in great despair from Timbuktu to Congo Square. This collection of music and poetry by Bilal Abdurahman is an investigation of the roots of African-American music. Abdurahman's awareness of the unmistakable influences of African musical traditions on jazz is shown on this album as he plays various African instruments including the balaphone [balafon] and the halam[xalam] in the music which accompanies his jazz poetry.
