Fimber Bravo & Kadialy Kouyate

With their acclaimed new album 'Small Talk' still resonating vigorously on the airwaves (One of the best and most surprising Cds in the year! Rather remarkable. Great! Andy Kershaw BBC Radio 3) Trinidadian steel pan veteran Bravo joins talented young Senegalese kora player & singer Kadialy in an unlikely but inspired fusion of music & cultures. Bravo returns to his roots to bring the old Kaiso (pre-Calypso) tradition into the mix, whilst Kadialy's rippling kora playing & insistent vocals draw strongly on the Kouyate family’s griot ancestry. In duo setting, their sound is uniquely poised and complementary..add-in ex-Osibisa guitar wizz Kari Bannerman & respected percussion master Emmanuel Tagoe, and the band 'play as if they have no respect for anyone on God's earth!' (Caribbean Times)
