Eight years after the critically acclaimed Alien Cartoon, Senegalese producer IBAAKU returns with JOOLA JAZZ LP !
An alchemy of jazz, electronic sounds and Casamance music in the tradition of Touré Kunda and Xalam in their day.
The album is also accompanied by a short film:
a manifesto of resilience in the face of the sound poet's personal history
but also a questioning of the way in which technologies technologies and cultures come together to reinitialize our imaginary.
Identity: The meeting point of electronics, jazz and the musical tradition of Casamance.
The realization of this new project is associated with a research approach to traditional Casamance rhythms, vocals and instruments.
A reference to Spiritual Jazz is also present, through stories and approaches ; while the skeleton of IBAAKU's tracks remains experimental,
with strong influences from the emerging African club scene.[info sheet from distr.]
