Africans as the Toure Kunda have in the past 25 years proved that they can end up with their music hits such as the Western rock and pop musicians. "Paris is an important place. For in Paris happened the music of the future. In Paris, Salif Keita, Angelique Kidjo, Manu Dibango, Toure Kunda ...." That the said Carlos Santana, and if the says, it must agree well (I say yes always!) Santana is not just a song of the Toure Kunda on his eight Grammy award-winning and multimillion-selling album "Supernatural" (2000), he is living in Paris brothers derived from the Casamence in Senegal, also taken on tour. It pays to be there on time, to see Toure Kunda as the opening act (they sing but also at the end along with Santana and band at the gigantic finale).
the song "Ema" known in France every child who is now 30, 40 or 50 years old. For Toure Kunda was the first African band that had success in France. Ema was on the first LP 1979th Ismaela was the first of the brothers Toure to Paris..
"1975 was not simply that time there was no African music, you had no place for a while, it was very difficult, it was hopeless.. All the producers told me no, then sent me from pillar to . Pilatus They were finally friends who financed us they said. We do not know if African music matters, but we give you what we have and you pay us back that if you can, we have made our first album..
Toure Kunda At that time there were three. dies In 1983 Amadou, jumps another brother, Ousmane one. Then there is this still Amidou. But from 1992 to make the founders of the Toure Kunda, Ismaela and Sixu, went further. Overall, the Toure Kunda 13 albums under their belt. " Their latest CD, they present on the tour with Carlos Santana. Sixu, the second in Duo.
"Carlos is an old acquaintance of ours, we know each other for ten years every time he comes to Paris, he calls us and invites us to come with him to the stage . He may not only Toure Kunda, but African music in general. Six or eight months, then he called and said he would like to interpret our piece "Gueria." We said why not. We had a real friendship with Carlos, and after ten years, he asks us for the title, because we did not hesitate. So out came our Title Gueria "Africa Bamba". "
1992 sang the Toure Kunda from Nelson and Winnie Mandela. Mandela had just been released from prison and paid his Mitterrand from Paris to visit. Then it was heard about the brothers from Senegal. You .. gave concerts and made CDs, but little is heard in the media of them as Santana took her title of his new album, no one guessed that he would get eight Grammys and celebrate the glorious comeback of all time
Ismaela laughs: "The shows that is cooked in ancient pots best, this saying applies in Senegal as in Europe. Although the self-proclaimed Musikprophezeier said almost, Carlos was at the end. In sport it is to five to ten years career over, not in the music. You understand more of it, the older you get. . Because you learn more every day "
On the CD" Terra Saabi "show the Toure Kunda all their musical influences: salsa, their African culture, Western - they interpret as" in the air "by Phil Collins . They wanted to show the way they have gone in twenty years.
