Recorded in the south of Mali, in the bush of the Farakala village, the new album of Trilok Gurtu is announced like the most unique production of the artist. Completely acoustic, recorded live, the amazing sound of "Farakala" (title of the album) will surprise in his discography. Produced by Frederic Galliano for the Frikyiwa label, it propels Trilok Gurtu in the most subtle and the deepest Indian and African combination ever carried out. While working with bHadja Kouyaté (voice, Guinea-Conakry), Ali Boulo Santo (voice and will kora, Senegal), NGou Bagayoko (guitar, Mali), Filifin (kamélé goni and voice, Mali) and Sounkalo (dozon goni, Mali), Trilok Gurtu pushed the experiment until giving up tablas and drums. While seeking in the compositions and appropriating the rare percussions of south Mali, he succeeds in making emerge in his play and his melodies all his Indian culture tangled with African vibrations. These mixtures, these interpretations, these instinctive and required developments make this album a major production, sensual, merry and released from all stereotyped fusion. No doubt the greatest simplicity of Trilok Gurtu emerges here and this album signs there the talent of an innovative and scholar work. The live will gather the musical team with whom he recorded. There again, one will have to expect the most surprising musical proposal of the artist.
