BERNARD W0MA - LIVE AT P1T0 BAR (1997)

The kind of bar music I continue to dream about: an almost sacred ethos of trance, dance and party. Woma rocks the gyil xylophone, a kind of balafon specific to the Dagara people of north Ghana--the artist's ancestral region--and Burkina Faso. Here, the background sounds of the revelers seem to add fuel to the sonic fire.
