Sigil

"With his musicians on oud, ngoni and frame drum, Kane is a commanding presence. With his guimbri (large Gnawa Lute) he creates a taught, spare an mesmerising web of music."
- Songlines

Nuru-Kane was born and raised in Medina, Daka, and his distinctive take on Senegalese music explores the connections between the music of North and East Africa - a musical journey across the Sahara.

This album captrues Nuru's range of influences, from his blues-led solo songs, reminiscent of Ali Farka Toure, through to the driving gnawa trance that forms the backbone of his pulsating live performances. Unhindered, unrestricted and full of musical surprises, Sigil's instrumentation is primarily acoustic, but the results are electric.
