Kouyate, Sory Kandia
La Voix De La Revolution
Sory Kandia Kouyate moved from the royal court of a local ruler to the urbane company of revolutionary artists and future politians until 1958, the year of Guinea's independence, his powerful, sonorous voice was as its peak. This authoritative 2CD album with 40-page booklet including rare, intimate photos never before seen outside his immediate circle charts both sides of his music, the contemporary and the tradional, to explain why today, almost four decades after his death, he is still the ultimate point of reference for all West African griots.
