Musical Conjurers
This program takes an imaginative look at the way musicians conjure fantastic realities--the past, the future, transformed cultural worlds--in their music. Habib Koite uses musicians from outside his own tradition to conjure ancient Mali. Canadian singer Loreena McKennitt collaborates with musicians from the UK, Syria and elsewhere to journey into the Andalusian past in the awesome surround of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. In Congo, Konono No1 generate the ambiance of a village funeral in Kinshasa's urban neighborhoods, and on a new live album, in a Belgium concert hall. Then, back in the 70s in Guinea, a group of guitar virtuosos foretell the rise of instrumental, acoustic African music in a rare, and recently reissued set of recordings. All this and much more as Afropop Worldwide recasts the musician as magician. |
