Amadou Kienou - djembe, tama & vocal. Rhythms -Tradition Burkina Faso.
Considering that Burkina Faso musician Amadou Kienou hails from a family whose lineage includes several noted practitioners of the craft of the griot, its not surprising that his own music is much more than a mere percussive orgy.
Kienou’s musical training took place through the rituals and ceremonies that still mark the life of his native village (baptisms, weddings, funerals, sacred rites etc), an apprenticeship which has served him well in his rise to the professional arena, working with such luminaries of African music as Manu Dibango, Youssou N’Dour and Baba Maal. A virtuoso of the djembé, a drum of ancient provenance carved from a tree trunk left to mature for at least a year, Amadou (who is also no mean vocalist, intoning chants of rare intensity) wrests from his instrument polyrhythms of dizzying complexity, drawing the listener into a whirl of hypnotic, chattering beats.
