A stunning new production by Mark Ernestus, drawn from his recordings with some of Senegal's greatest musicians. Djery Djery are a griot clan of Sabar drummers from Kaolack in Senegal, led by Bakane Seck, with guest players and vocalists. Djery Djery's style of Mbalax is swingeingly masterful - heady and hard-grooving, with highly complex, fiercely succinct poly-rhythms - an ancient-futuristic music, mesmeric but sharp as nails, super-charged with drama. Featuring the lovelorn vocals of guest Mbene Diatta Seck, Sabar traditions are fused with furious Afro-Cubanismo, hard funk-rock, and shards of high-life. Ernestus' nasty, hypnotic, stripped dub - a first in Mbalax - edges in the bass, profiles the talmbat and tungun drums, and scoops the sense out of the vocal. And if that's all a bit too much of a speeding ride, T++ suggests playing the dub at 33rpm - perfect for the submerged dub-techno heads.
