  • Description

    'Denfila' is the second album by Donso, a French/Malian band of five, who skilfully bring together traditional Malian music and electronica to create a unique fusion of music.

    Donso are Pierre-Antoine Grison, aka Krazy Baldhead (producer for the influential dance music label Ed Banger) on Keyboards and programming, Moh Kouyate on guitar and Djele n'goni (traditional West African string instrument), Thomas Guillaume on percussion and Donso n'goni, vocalist Gedeon Papa Diarra and Seyba Cissoko on djeli n'goni.



    'Denfila' is characterised by the continuous flow between Europe and Africa: written in Paris, completed in Bamako, and vice versa. The album is a deep, atmospheric notebook of sounds, feelings and encounters. On "Mantiaba", Thomas Guillaume's Donso n'goni calls for a trance, while on "Rue Princesse", the whole Donso clan is partying in Paris as if they were in Bamako. Finally, "Awakening" gives a warm welcome to Seyba Cissoko, Donso's fifth member, for a drum-only track influenced by techno and dubstep.
