Kaabi Kouyate, son of the great griot of Guinea, Kandia Sory Kouyate, dedicates this tribute to his father and his repertoire of Mandinka epic songs.

Sory Kandia Kouyaté (1933-1977) was "The Voice" of independent Guinea. It is to this baobab of Guinean song that one of his sons, Kaabi Kouyaté dedicates this tribute. The most fascinating thing about this album is Kaabi's voice, whose timbre, modulations and inflections, and the felicity of his DNA, echo so hauntingly those of Guinea's most famous griot.
