Alkebulan by Thomas Barrière

Alkebulan is Thomas Barrière's first solo studio recording since Primaire, his groundbreaking first album released on Thödol & Cassauna in 2014. Crossing musical borders, he brings together diverse influences and pays tribute to one of his seminal field in his own landscape: West African music. An absolute must have for all fans of improvised guitar—but not exclusively! He extends a prodigous technique by using a prepared doubleneck guitar/mandolin and pedals, and also bass drum, gas-tank, cymbals, tambourine, shaker, and pieces of metal.
A new gem from a true maverick. Beautiful and essential.
