Extra-Infos: .. Ghana's Upper West Region
Description:Vinyl LP pressing. Field recordings of Lobi traditional xylophone (gyil) music recorded by Hisham Mayet on location in Ghana's Upper West Region, West Africa in 2019. Featuring Aaron Bebe Sukura, considered one of the gyil's master musicians from this area. Long form trance music with acoustic instruments sounding like several minimalist orchestras getting to maximalist sonic peaks. The gyil music of the Dagara is a complex multi-dimensional symphony of notes, bringing to life an animist expression that reveals a cultural dialogue between the spirits, the deceased, musicians, dancers, and audience alike. The intensity of this recording reaches a level of complexity that rivals techno music. It is in essence an acoustic techno music, utilizing organic instruments made of wood, leather and gourds filled with spider egg sacs for resonance and played by master musicians creating a sonic wanderlust of mesmerizing sound. Limited edition LP release includes a four-page insert of notes and photos from the recording session., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Balafon [Logyil]: Aaron Bebe Sukura, Balafon [Logyil]: Karbo Bebang Denis, Balafon [Logyil]: Vi-ireh Dong, Drum [Dalari]: Assibi Nibekuu, Drum [Dalari]: Terkpen Yakum, Drum [Kuor]: Karbo Tiernye, Liner Notes: Brian Nowak, Liner Notes: Colter Harper, Liner Notes: Hisham Mayet, Mastered By [Audio Mastering], Layout: Mark Gergis, Photography By [Photos]: Colter Harper, Photography By [Photos]: Hisham Mayet, Photography By [Photos]: Issoufi Djamonga Ali, Producer [Produced By]: Colter Harper, Producer [Produced By]: Hisham Mayet, Recorded By: Hisham Mayet, Labelcode SBLF118.1 (SF118)
