Nziengui, Pape -et Son Groupe-

Kadi Yombo (2lp)

'Kadi Yombo', originally released in 1989, is the most successful album in the quest for a fusion between tradition and modernity in Bwiti harp music of the Tsogho people of Gabon. Combining beating rattles with a layer of synthesizers, Papé Nziengui blends in a contrapuntal dialogue characteristic of harp playing: male song in appeal and female choir in response, male voice of the musical arc and rhythms of female worship. But above all it's Tsogho ritual music and modern studio orchestration. The result is an initiatory itinerary of ten musical pieces which are all milestones likely to be simultaneously listened to, danced and meditated on.
