Accra Quartet - Gb?Fal?I

Fakta Recorded on a hot night in a one-room gospel music studio in Accra, comes GbÉ?falÉ?i -- a remarkable record exploring the edges of contemporary African music. It's at once traditional and Avant Garde, extremely local and thoroughly cosmopolitan. Anchored in folkloric instruments and free improvisation, the music is more like the Art Ensemble of Chicago than the court drummers of the Ashanti king.
