FREE SONG:'Affrissipi 'Ngoppe Kam Mi Yaha''
AFRISSIPPI is a group featuring GUELEL KUMBA who comes from Senegal, West Africa. The nucleus of AFRISSIPPI was born when Eric Deaton, apprentice of the late JUNIOR KIMBROUGH, invited Guelel to explore the hill country sound of North Mississippi.
Eric carried Guelel to the home of bluesman R.L. BURNSIDE where they discovered the eerie similarities between some of Guelels Senegalese folk melodies and those of R.L. & JUNIOR, the patriarchs of the hill country boogie and cottonpatch trance blues. With R.L.s blessing, Guelel & Eric recruited his son and grandson, Garry & Cedric Burnside, as rhythm section.
AFRISSIPPI channels ancient boogie music & todays Mississippi hill country groove through the Delta Recording style - Its like the blues trying to be born!
It is unfortunate that all the songs or videos marked as free songs cannot be heard/played. They have been removed. Why they should they be marked as free?
