About Mandinka and Fulani Music of the Gambia
This was recorded by Billy Youdelman on April 15th & 16th 1990 in Birkama, the Gambia. Co-produced by bassist Bill Laswell & Gambian griot Foday Musa Suso, this album delves into the West African roots that inspired their fusionary Mandingo project. Ancient Heart features recordings of both of the Gambia's two major ethnic groups, the Mandinka & Fulani. But while the 11 songs are true to tradition, the approach is varied from the norm by recording the musicians in ensembles rather than the usual solo setting.
