AFH587 - BKO Quintet - Kongo Kono

BKO Quintet’s music was born from a meeting between five established artists. This gathering provides a journey into the heart of contemporary Mali. Ibrahima Sarr, powerful percussionist, masters the sounds of the djembé with ease. He has travelled the world alongside Oumou Sangare. Fassara Sacko whose voice takes you aback, differs from other griots in traditional celebrations. He plays the dunun-drum. Nfali Diakite sings and plays his donsongoni in animist ceremonies celebrated by his peers. Abdoulaye Kon
