I performed recently at a local restaurant called La Lodo with chanteuse Mariam and her band Ifriquiya. This was the first time they'd collaborated with an international musician.
A throwback to the Metissons festival organised by Institut Francais. Myself with local singer Khadim Tall and his excellent band.
Most recently I found myself in Saint-Louis studio Djar-Djar (Passage) recording parts for a new song by local band Orchestre Guneyi under the watchful eye of lead-singer Cheikh Baye Fall and his engineer pictured below.
My residency at Waaw Sengal, Saint-Louis, Winter 2015 has been funded by a Development Grant from the Australia Council for the Arts, the Australian Government's Arts Funding and Advisory Body.
