about

"Wasulun fenkorow" (ancient things from the Wassoulou) is a unique recording, gathering rhythms and songs from Sega Sidibe's native folklore - the highly regarded wasulunke musical tradition. Although some of these rhythms are quite famous and still popular, like Didadi (track #5), N'grinba (aka Wassolonka) and the rhythm accompanying the Sogoninkun mask, the others are rarely played nowadays.
All can be heard in their most traditional and genuine form.
Enjoy these treasures from the past!
All proceeds from this album will benefit Sega Sidibe's family.

"Wasulun fenkorow" (les choses anciennes du Wassoulou) est un enregistrement unique présentant des rythmes et des chants issus du folklore de la région natale de Séga Sidibé. Bien que certains de ces rythmes soient encore aujourd'hui très populaires (Didadi #5, N'grinba - connu ailleurs sous le nom de "Wassolonka", et le rythme accompagnant le masque Sogoninkun), les autres tendent à disparaître. Tous ces rythmes sont interprétés ici dans leur forme la plus traditionnelle.
Découvrez ces trésors du passé!
Les revenus de cet album sont reversés à la famille de Séga Sidibé.
