Six years after the successful edition of SONGHAI 1, Africa meets flamenco again
with new guests, as a bigger team.
Produced by Joe Boyd, Lucy Durán and Mario Pacheco, it was recorded in
Madrid and London. This time the cd includes written commentaries to the music
and the lyrics of the songs.
The collaboration between Toumani Diabate and Ketama has increased their understanding
of both worlds. The brilliance of the playing of all the musicians makes of this
record an indispensable piece for every music collector.
New guests:

his solo career.
