Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba (ML)
Den visionære ngoni-mester Bassekou Kouyaté er tilbage med familiebandet Ngoni Ba og et helt nyt album. Til foråret er de klar til at indtage ALICE.
Malesiske Bassekou Kouyaté har slået sit navn fast som en af de mest nyskabende og visionære afrikanske musikere i nyere tid. Han har revolutioneret lyden af strengeinstrumentet ngoni - en fjern forfader til guitaren - og med inspirationer fra rock og blues ført den oprindelige tradition ind i moderne rammer. Med sit formidable band Ngoni Ba har Kouyaté turneret over hele verden og spillet et væld af koncerter, bl.a. på Roskilde Festival, Glastonbury Festival og i New Yorks Central Park. Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba har desuden spillet flere anmelderroste koncerter på Global. I anledning af deres nye album “Miri" (Outhere Records, 2019), lægger de endnu en gang vejen forbi Nørre Allé 7.
Bassekou Kouyaté er født i 1966 ved Nigerfloden i det sydlige Mali og nedstammer fra en højt respekteret griot-familie. Han gav sit instrument en helt ny rolle, da han som teenager fandt på at spænde en rem i sin ngoni og spille på den, som var det en guitar. Siden har Kouyaté bl.a. samarbejdet med stjerner som ørkenblues-mesteren Ali Farka Touré og den amerikanske bluesmusiker Taj Mahal. Han har i de senere år været en af hovedkræfterne i det succesfulde projekt Afrocubism, ligesom han har turneret med Damon Albarns Africa Express, hvor han har delt scenen med navne som Paul McCartney og John Paul Jones.
“Miri” (“drøm”) er Kouyatés femte album og samtidig opfølgeren til de to anmelderroste plader "Jama Ko” (2013) og "Ba Power” (2015), hvor bandet for alvor eksperimenterede med elektrisk forstærkning og effektpedaler. “Miri” genoptager imidlertid en mere roots-orienteret lyd og reflekterer over temaer som kærlighed, venskaber og Malis politiske situation.
Siden 2006 har Bassekou Kouyatés primære fokus været familiebandet Ngoni Ba, der tæller hans to sønner, nevø og bror, samt hans kone, den fremragende sangerinde Amy Sacko. Med et line-up på fire ngoni-spillere og to percussionister, forener gruppen på enestående vis de oprindelige Bambara-traditioner fra Mali med lyden af Muddy Waters og Jimi Hendrix. På baggrund af deres energiske liveshow har det britiske dagblad The Independent kaldt Ngoni Ba "the best rock 'n' roll band in the world".

Bassekou Kouyate - lead ngoni
Amy Sacko - lead vocals and backing vocals

Sagt om Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba:
“In Kouyaté’s hands, the little lute, with its skin made from the head of a cow, becomes every bit as thuggish as a distorted Les Paul.” - Mojo Magazine
In English:
Bassekou Kouyate is one of the true masters of the ngoni, an ancient traditional lute found throughout West Africa, and he has collaborated with many musicians in and outside of Mali, such as Ali Farka Toure, Toumani Diabate, Taj Mahal, Damon Alban, Joachim Kühn…). He rejoices in an unusual band formation, which includes three players of the n’goni, manifested in its differing tonal sizes and 2 percussionists (talking drum, Yabara, Calebasse). Completed by the fantastic singer Amy Sacko, the band performed already at major festival around the globe (e.g. Glastenbury, Roskilde, Fuji Rock Festival, North Sea jazz Festival, WOMAD). In 2013 the BBC chose Bassekou as “best African artist of the year”. Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba are ready with their fifth album “Miri” (Outhere Records, 2019) and will perform at ALICE this spring.
