Released: Nov 2005
Label: Electric Catfish Records
Mississippi blues and West African music continue to be fascinated by each other, and their latest reunion is a particularly potent one. Senegalese griot (and Mississippi transplant) Guelel Kumba sings in Fulani while bluesmen from R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough's bands shake Mississippi mud from their guitars. The guttural loneliness of the blues seems to find redemption in Kumba's joyous sound, and vice versa. Check out John Sinclair's cameo on "Njulli/Fulani Journey": he (perhaps unintentionally) impersonates an inebriated Tom Brokaw as he details the history of the Fulani people.
