Sona Jobarteh – Song of the Day
HAVANA TIMES – Today we shift continents and feature English-Gambian artist Sonia Jobarteh and her band performing the song “Mamamuso” in a live recording made in Weimar, Germany in 2015.
Musicians:
Sonah Jobarteh – Acoustic Guitar/ Kora/ Vocals; Maurice Brown – Acoustic Guitar; Andi McLean – Electric Bass/ BVs; Mouhamadou Sarr – Djembe/ Congas/ Calabash/ BVs
The Kora is one of the most important instruments belonging to the Manding peoples of West Africa (Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau).
Havana Times Song of the Day features artists mostly, but not only, born in Latin America and the Caribbean. Additionally, artists influenced by Latin American rhythms/sounds and/or are of Latin American heritage but born elsewhere. Jazz is another feature of our posts.
