Assusu Review by Carl Hoyt

Famoro played with Miriam Makeba and was the bass player for The Balladins until the Guinean government was no longer able to subsidise bands. Put together specifically for this session in 1992, the band includes balafons, drums, flute, voice and electric bass, and, though not so very different from other groups of this nature, has a hard, driving quality to its beat - not as meandering and gentle as Sahelian classical music. The balafon playing is amazing and the addition of the bass and flute add a new texture to one of the most beautiful musical fabrics ever.
