The Early World

sat 2 apr 2016 07:00 hour

With music from Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Europe.

‘Kasaï’ is the debut album of the African singer Tatouages. Tatouages was born in Kasaï (now located in Congo) and grew up in Kinshasa (then the capital of Zaire, now of Congo). She travelled through Africa for years to gain more knowledge of the cultural legacy of the various countries and to work together with artists. She met Maïka Munan and was discovered by chance by the brothers Touré Kunda, who offered to produce her album. ‘Kasaï’ is an album full with relaxed, rhythmic music with solo singing, choral singing, guitars, percussion and brass players. The numbers are for the greater part written by Tatouages herself.
Cd. ‘Kasaï’ van Tatouages. Label: Music & Words / Zimbraz Records (2003), code : MWCD 3024.

In the series music from the producing countries of stimulants, Putumaya presents chocolate, with a selection of Africa and the Caribbean (where it is cultivated), Europe (where it is used in treats) and the United States (where it is eaten). The music itself varies in the same way: from the British indie pop, the Brazilian guitar and the Cuban trumpet to the Swiss/Guinea-Bissau combination.
