The African music
tribute to James Brown!
Tunya, the second album by former Afro Celt
Soundsystem member N’Faly
Kouyaté, follows his 2004 debut Kora Grooves.
Both albums were recorded
with his band Dunyakan (“the voice of the world.”)
Faly was born into one of the most celebrated families of griots of the
Manding people (among the largest ethnic groups in West Africa); his
father
was Konkoba Kabinet Kouyate. Despite being
traditionally trained from
an early age, and also performing with the University Troupe of
Conakry,
he has been influenced heavily by Western music such as rock, hip-hop,
jazz,
and classical.
