Updated: Dec 5, A bittersweet masterpiece that celebrates liberation from colonialism. Like many Guineans of the era in which it was released, I was ultimately drawn to this album because of its hypnotic tone and beautiful instrumentation. This may be confusing to understand at first, but stick with it and you will soon learn more about the perverse complexities that gave birth to this multi-faceted album.
However, it is much more difficult to determine what to make of the obvious influence that colonialism had in producing this sound. On the one hand, it could be claimed that the album achieves this in its entirety as it detracts from the European styles that were popularised during French colonial rule and instead utilises traditional musical instruments such as the balafon and the kora albeit with songs sung in French that supposedly celebrate their African roots.
It is not just in its instrumentation does it seemingly honour their African heritage but also within the lyrics. The final track for instance, Keme Bourema , is about an African resistance leader in the late 19th century, who was the king of the Samorian army and is remembered for his military prowess.
