Something like hearing the rural roots of Roland Kirk. Voice & flute vocalize together. Luminous, haunting, joyous, grief-stricken, a cry, a laugh, a call, a weeping...Peul (Fulani) flute (tambin) music is masterful in Sylvain Leroux's charge...Echos of Baaba Maal's musical scales, tone, and tenor.
