Debademba is back, ready to set and set the mood everywhere in his passage of his West African grooves feverish! At the head of the group, the two accomplices, locomotives of this ultravitaminated mixture: Abdoulaye Traoré, virtuoso Burkinabe guitarist, as at ease in the African rhythms as in blues-rock or flamenco, and the Ivorian-Malian singer Mohamed Diaby , to the golden voice of griot, powerful and high pitched. Settled in Paris, in the district of Belleville, "where everything started for Debademba", they draw on the musical wealth of the continent, from Côte d'Ivoire to northern Mali through Cameroon and Burkina. But Debademba, which means "the big family" in Bambara, is not content to make the crowds dance: they broadcast pacifist messages of fraternity and friendship through their music. For this third album, they pay homage to the "Sanikoya", a secular tradition of West Africa that maintained peace between families and ethnic groups, a tradition that tends to disappear today. Before flying to Benin, the two friends confided in Point Africa.
