Modou Traore is a man of dual heritage, with roots from Mali and Senegal. His soulful connection to music runs deep, a passion that has been with him since birth. He is not simply a musician, but a great storyteller and an excellent percussionist.
By his side are four equally dedicated musicians. Casper Amba, Jeppe Cloos, Mikas Bøgh and Jakob De Place all have a great passion for Malien music culture. Jakob and Mikas have been living in Bamako, the vibrant culture capital of Mali for over seven years and collaborating with a diverse array of artists. Together, they create music that transcends boundaries, and blends genres as bambara blues and modern afrobeat.
It is raw, powerful, and undeniably groovy. To experience Modou Traore and his talented companions is to be taken away on a journey of sound and emotion. It is a passionate ode to the music that pulses through the nightlife of Bamako, and a peak into the joy and beauty that can be found in Westafrican music culture.
