African Brothers Band (International) – Tribute To D.K.

Colleen: Musics from the African continent have had and still have a huge influence on how I play my instruments. I am originally a guitarist, I often go back to guitar-based music, and to me African musicians are the absolute masters of that instrument. It is really hard to pick just one album of African music, but a favorite of these past few years is this album by African Brothers Band, from Ghana: with their long freeform songs, stunning guitar, organs and drums, and plaintive vocals, it is music that moves and grooves but with a melancholy tinge – a combination I also try to have in my own music.
