BACKGROUND
Basically all the tracks are very rhythmic powerful pieces. Salif Keita from Mali successfully merged traditional and modern music as does Toumani Diabates's who uses the traditional 21 stringed kora fused with modern instruments and styles to produce a powerful style.

Youngblood Bass Band from New Orleans fuse different styles from traditional jazz to hip hop to create an inivative sound. It would be great if you could play the tracks and show how traditional and new music can stand beside each other.
