Boreya by M'Bemba Bangoura
Boreya, Susu for "friendly", is M'Bemba Bangoura’s fourth recording. It is jam-packed with djembe action: Traditional Rhythms, Original Arrangements, Djembe Solos, and an exciting blend of diverse music from the African diaspora.
Boreya embraces New York's cultural melting pot, showcasing incredible artists from Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Brazil, Cuba, and of course, Guinea!
More than 20 musicians contribute to this groundbreaking project that shows off M'Bemba’s virtuosity, power, and seasoned veteran status.
The album features drumming legends and rising stars, including Jorge Alabê, Moussa Traore, Román Díaz, Mélissa Hie, Famoro Dioubate, Ibrahima Diagne, Modou Sarr (R.I.P.), and more!
