Recorded in Guinea, West Africa, in 2011 by Kahlil Cummings, Iniké Baba features a united Balandugu Kan Conakry and Los Angeles. The album debuted an extensive work of traditional Mandingue rhythms with original compositions by Kahlil Cummings. Says scholar Kiley Guyton Acosta, "To label Iniké Baba as a CD minimizes the transcendental quality of this sonic masterpiece."
This music is dedicated to the elders and ancestors. Purchase your copy on CD Baby.
Listen to this track from Inike Baba by Kahlil Keita Cummings and Balandugu Kan. Recorded live in Guinea.
"And when the butterfly comes, it brings discerning fire in its breath. The gift of its broken cacoon awakens two options. Its flame will either dance to the sound of your peace song, or make music" with your ashes"
