Dominic is the only artist recording in the classic Congolese acoustic style of
Jean-Bosco Mwenda and Losta Abelo, once the most popular guitar music in Africa.
Born in Zambia and raised in Southeastern Zaire, he studied and played with the old
masters, absorbed their work, and has expanded and developed it into a unique and personal
style. To the basic line-up of lilting vocals, acoustic guitars and coke bottle, he
adds touches of blues and soukous. The result is music that is deeply rooted but
completely contemporary, a young voice revitalizing a golden age of African popular music. |
The oldest established orchestra still performing in West Africa, Sedhiou Band
introduces the "Afro-Manding" sound full of intricate arrangements that feature
intense interplay between the guitarists, percussionists and vocalists. In this,
its first international recording, Sedhiou Band treats you to the rhythms indigenous to
the hard scrabble farming community in which the band still lives, works and plays. |
