Senegalese Delta melodies meet North Mississippi Hill Country Blues
Bio / Background
Afrissippi's debut album, FULANI JOURNEY, tells the story of GUELEL KUMBA, a singer-songwriter from the delta of Senegal, West Africa. Kumba moved to Oxford, Mississippi, in 2001 where he jammed with ERIC DEATON, apprentice to the late R.L. Burnside. The two discovered the similarities between the hill country blues of North Mississippi and Kumba's traditional Senegalese melodies, and the nucleus of Afrissippi was born. On FULANI JOURNEY they enlist the region's finest including drummers Cedric Burnside & Kinney Kimbrough, wildman Jimbo Mathus, sax legend Herman Green, and the Taylor Grocery Band.
Recorded in two nights with no overdubs at Mathus's Delta Recording Service in Clarksdale, Mississippi, FULANI JOURNEY shows the head-on collision between Kumba's music and the full-throttle drive of its descendant, the hill country blues of North Mississippi.

Deep Roots Connectionoandwkc wrote on January 24, 2008
Years ago, in his book 'The Land Where The Blues Were Born,' Alan Lomax wrote of the connection between the music of West Africa and the Delta Blues and Hill Country Blues of Mississippi. In Fulani Journey, Guelel Kumba and Eric Deaton and a stellar supporting cast bring that connection to life. This is much more than intriguing musicology, however; Fulani Journey is beautiful and soulful, and a rich addition to American roots music.
