HAROUNA SAMAKE ‘Kamale Blues’
Harouna Samake, long time Kamale n’goni player for legendary Malian musician Salif Keita, is releasing his first solo album, Kamale Blues, in August, 2018. Recognised as Mali’s foremost Kamale n’goni player, Harouna has a long history of award winning musical collaborations. He arranged and recorded on five of Salif Keita’s albums and has also recorded on more than 50 albums with artists including Blick Bassy, Djessou Mory Kanté, Etienne Mbappé and Bassekou Kouyate, to name a few. On his new solo album, Harouna employs his talents to reflect upon issues present in the world around him. His lyrics are the foundation for this conceptual approach, referencing themes of immigration, wealth & inequality, gender relations, and human rights. Sung mostly in his native Bambara with some English and French phrasing, Harouna’s album mixes various genres – from manding styles, to jazz and blues. His sound is unique, groovy and full of lawyers of tradional Malian arrangements with comtemporary ideas and strong solos. The chorus are song with the soft angelic vocal of his wife, Assetou Diakite that contrasts Harounas soft yet somewhat ‘raw’ voice. Over the subsequent years, his style and abilities have impressed many internationally acclaimed artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Lennister & Mike Stern, and Bella Flick. After eighteen years touring internationally with Salif Keita, Harouna ipresents his exceptional talents as a musician, composer, arranger and producer to marvel a whole new global audience of listeners through his full-length album, Kamale Blues. The album was recordorded and produced by Harouna Samake & Carolina Vallejo, at Harouna’s studio in Bamako, Mali.
