Electric griot land

Ba Cissoko was created in 1999 with just three members. The last member is featured on the recent album release from 2006. The band toured the UK supporting acclaimed Nigerian musician Femi Kuti in 2007. Sekou Kouyaté's can with his electronically enhanced Kora harp produce a sound somewhat similar to that of fast guitar tapping, partly helped by the nature of the instrument. The new sound has earned Sekou the nickname of "Jimi Hendrix Africain", due to Jimi Hendrix style riffs.
