Hank Jones Meets Cheick-Tidiane Seck And The Mandinkas ‎– Sarala 2LP

Hank Jones Meets Cheick-Tidiane Seck And The Mandinkas ‎– Sarala

Released in 1995, Sarala marked its time by generating a genuine enthusiasm for Mandingo music, encouraging many Western musicians to go to Mali and explore this music at its very source. Fruit of the reunion of Hank Jones (an African-American musician and one of the most gifted pianists of his generation) and Cheick-Tidiane Seck (a reputed arranger, band-leader, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Mali) the album is a symbiosis - one of the spirit and the heart - of two genres.
