Mark Ernestus Presents Jeri-Jeri

Casamance

Ndagga

Berlin versus Kaolack, round three.
A traditional Jola rhythm, fast and energetic, with tuned, talking and kit drums swarming across a skeletal downhome guitar — somewhere between blues and disco — and the Mboup brothers’ impassioned plea for an end to division and bloodshed in their Casamance homeland. Then a more deeply dug-in, spaced-out funk, spun from a Serer rhythm, underpinning Mbene’s reflective song about parental selflessness. ‘Sama Yaye’, ‘My Mother’.
Both with full instrumental versions.
