Kora Symmetry



As the solstice approaches I've been listening a lot to the track Houndoti from Toumani Diabate's new album and wondering how the rest of the album will turn out. In the articles that appeared after Ali Farka Toure's death there was also mention of another Toure album that World Circuit had recorded after his joint effort In the Heart of the Moon with Dianate.

And speaking of WorldCircuit, current home of Orchestra Baobab, this brings me to one of my favourite re-issue ideas: that of bringing back all those LPs issued by the French label Disques Buur in 1975 of Orchestra Baobab. More on this soon. In the meantime enjoy the covers.
