about

Donso consists of a quartet of brilliant musicians who, when combined, clearly push one another to greater musical feats at every turn. Much of the modern spin on the music comes from the work of electronic instrumentalist, Pierre-Antoine Grison
(aka KrazyBaldhead), and the way in which he waves the traditional African sounds into the electronic genre is nothing short of stunning. The guitar and Djele N'Goni work from Guimba Kouyate is equally fantastic, and a wide range of playing styles are found here, from the winding, almost spacey progressions on “Musow” to a energic rock sound on « Djanjigui”. Playing both Donso N'Goni as well as handing the live percussion, Thomas Guillaume brings some of the most wonderfully primitive beats ever heard, and the way in which they are worked into the modern sounds is nothing short of sonic genius. Also appearing on Donso are Ballake Sissoko on Kora and keyboardist Cheick Thidiane Seck, and the massive amount of diverse instrumentation and stylistic approach truly makes the album like nothing else in music.
