Think Global: West Africa Unwired

From the sumptuous koras (the West African Harp) of Toumani Diabate and Ballake Sissoko to the acoustic guitar legends Baaba Maal and Mansour Seck, West Africa Unwired presents some of the most beautiful classics from the acoustic West Africa repertoire.

Featuring bluesy sounds from Mali, Wodabe music from the Sahelian Savannah and Manding rhythms, this album features griots, musical giants and rising stars, who reveal the vitality of these timeless and exceptional songs.
