"Saxophone meets Kora, Balaphon and Donzo NīGoni"

"Unique Sounds of alluring beauty emerge when the melodies of saxophone player Hannes Kies join the music of the hunter-musicians from Mali. The magic of the African xylophones and the harp-lutes "Kora" and "Donzo NīGoni" unfolds in various arrangements, enriched by the "Tambin" and "Djembe". The sounds permeate an unchartered, fascinating, tonal range between the two cultures."
