[FA Worldmusic] BASSEKOU KOUYATE AND NGONI BA - seeking US profile and dates

[debbie golt]

Greetings
I'm writing on behalf of my friend Chetna Capacee who manages BASSEKOU KOUYATE
and NGONI BA - the double BBC 3 award winning group of 4 Ngoni's fabo
percussion and that voice - Amy Sacko (who has collaborated worldwide with
Leni Stern and  Didi Bridgewater amongst others)
 
I'm assuming y'all know about Bassekou Kouyate and Ngoni Ba and their top
album Segu Blue on OutHere Records produced by Lucy Duran? They're going to
record a second album later this year which will be even more stunning I am
sure.
 
They are now playing major festivals UK/Europewide and want to go further. USA
and Canada are now in view! Bassekou has played the States before -
collaborating with Taj Mahal who sees him as a genius - and both Bassekou and
Amy are an integral part of Didi Bridgewater;s amazing Red Earth album, and
Amy works closely with Leni Stern. Bassekou (and Amy in the encore) also
toured with Otis Taylor, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Corey Harris in the
Recapturing the Banjo concerts
 
But they have yet to do any dates as Bassekou Kouyate and Ngoni Ba
 
SO ARE ANY OF YOU INTERESTED????
 
Can you reply to me off list to outerglobe at yahoo.co.uk please?
 
I think Forced Exposure distributes out Here in North America. 
 
 
Cheers
Debbie
