- Sten Källman & Sanba Zao: Mapou
(2020, cd, sweden, country & eastern)
Subtitled "Haitian Drums & Northern Wind", "Mapou" features Sten Källman on saxophones and Sanba Zao on percussion.
It combines Nordic folk music with the ritual drum music of Haiti.
For this project, Sanba Zao and Sten Källman gathered both Haitian drummers and musicians from the Swedish folk scene.
The result is quite exceptional and has a fresh, contemporary jazzy sound.
Mapou actually is the name of a holy tree in Haiti. It's a fitting name for a mesmerizing album.
Out on the Country & Eastern record label.

A fine discovery.
