Bassekou’s fourth album and his first for Glitterbeat is a powerhouse of sound and emotion. Following two years of world wide touring for “Jama Ko” the band is blazing tight and Bassekou’s ngoni playing is more nuanced and intense than ever. Distortion and wah wah are now at the heart of his sound and the heat lightning vocals of his wife Amy Sacko serve as the perfect foil. This is not the same Ngoni Ba. This is Ba power.
