Description
Luka Productions proudly presents Falaw, a revolutionary blend of West African Hip Hop and sample - based folktronica. Following the success of the acclaimed 2017 Malian 'new age' inspired Fasokan, Luka Guindo delves into the rich Manding music heritage. He abandons PC - based sequencing and brings in traditional performers. Griots tell wise stories over Luka's grand synth pads, and ngonis play pentatonic solos with sequenced drum samples. Falaw pays tribute to storytellers, combines regional lyrical Hip Hop, and offers advice on modern life through heartfelt songs about loss, love, and life. Luka Guindo, the creative mind behind Luka Productions in Bamako, Mali, has a background in West African gospel music. He's a hard - working producer who has created tracks for many popular regional artists. His diverse experience shines through in Falaw. Tracks like BBNI offer a unique take on Bamako Hip Hop, while Forêt features beautiful acoustic ngoni with looping call - and - response. Luka not only sequences and produces but also plays various instruments, including vocals, djembe, synthesizer, guitar, and bass. The result is an otherworldly yet organic sound. At the intersection of electronic and traditional music, Falaw is set to become a classic at home in Mali and worldwide. It's a ground - breaking addition to homemade fourth - world music, hinting at the future of Malian sound. Comes with full lyric translations.
