Openwhyd: The community of music lovers

From forthcoming EP on Electric Cowbell Records. Cheick Hamala Diabate gets 'remixed-up' by some of the finest purveyors of groove on the planet who give their own unique spin to a Cheick Hamala Diabate original-'Prudence'-with the the addition of DC's Sol Power All Stars remix of another original 'Fatou Kounkoun Sissoko.' Destined to become a world-class burner EP pressed on high-quality vinyl and released April 2013-Cheick Mix highlights an ancient-to-the-future aspect of Cheick Hamala's breadth as a genre-bending experimental artist who has one foot firmly planted in tradition and roots but also a keen focused eye on the limitless possibilities of cross-cultural exchange via global collaboration with artists outside of his legacy as a griot.
