Yankaou by Djembe Tekno
Second single out from the coming “Teriya” album by the new power duo of Sidiki Camara and Tore Gjedrem is the driving, afro acid house number “Yankaou”. Combing Sidiki’s insane skills on the djembe, Malian chants and three layers of acid lines into a peak time, dance floor monster.
Djembe Tekno is a new project from Tore Gjedrem (Ost&Kjex / Sex Judas) and Malian percussionist and musician extraordinaire, Sidiki Camara. Djembe Tekno will release their debut album “Teriya” on Snick Snack Music October 31, and it’s a highly danceable and funky fusion of West African rhythms and contemporary club sounds.
Sidiki Camara’s main instrument djembe runs like a river thru the album, so does his singing in his Malian native tongue with chants and blessings driving the music forward. The duo uses traditional instruments like balafon, ngoni and talking drums, cooking up a brew combining inspiration from UK Bass music, Batida, House, Techno and Breaks with African music traditions rooted in Mali.
