Jalikunda presents a life-enhancing blend of African melody and rhythm.
Listen
out for the light and lilting rippling harp-like sounds of the kora,
while the djembe drums create rhythms that send the pulses racing.
Born in Senegal, djembe and kora specialist Mamadou Cissoko presents
a spirit-lifting confection that embodies the true heart of Africa.
Full
of inner rhythms, it's a form of music that sets the body in motion.
Dancing is an important part of the musical experience.
For these guys, the ritual of music-making sits close to the centre of their being.
A real sense of joy permeates the sound.
For an intimate gathering, the band can provide a djembe and kora duo that can perform without amplification.
For larger events, Jalikunda can step out in style with a
full six-piece ensemble. In addition, the band can also be accompanied
by up to three costumed dancers.
