When Senegalese guitarist Guelel Kumba left Paris for Oxford, Mississippi around 2001, few imagined he would integrate so quickly the music from his West African homeland with America’s Deep South. Kumba’s meeting with country ‘n’ bluesman Eric Deaton laid the foundations for a unique mixture of the hill country sounds of North Mississippi and the traditional Fulani music from Kumba’s hinterland. Their independently-financed debut album Fulani Journey was released in 2006. |
