ABOUT ABOU SYLLA

Aboubacar “Abou” Sylla, from Guinea, West Africa, is a master percussionist, musician, performer and teacher of West African music and dance, as well as a traditional instrument builder. Aboubacar has been performing professionally for over 20 years, and teaches and shares the music, dance and culture of West Africa throughout the United States and around the world.

Sylla is a “Djeli” (or “Griot”), born into a clan of oral historians who use the balafon, a 21-key xylophone, and their voices, to maintain and transfer the family lineages and historical deeds of community members. From a young age, Sylla learned scores of songs and musical patterns known only to the Djeli. Organizers note that his workshops and concert will introduce the Fredonia community to an 800-year-old musical legacy

“COMPRISED OF RAQUEL BELL AND PRIMARY MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE, THE DUO FUSE SCI-FI ELECTRONICS, ECSTATIC VOCALS, AND DYNAMIC DRUMMING INTO A SHADOWY STORM OF DRUG-LACED EXPERIMENTALISM, WITH VIBES OF TRIP HOP, SPACE AGE BACHELOR POP, DUB, KOSMISCHE, AND FREE JAZZ SHINING THROUGH IT ALL. INTERSTELLAR DRONES, EQUATORIAL ORGANS, AND WHIRLING WAVES OF ALIEN SYNTHESIS ARE SUPPORTED BY MUTANT FUNK, STONER SLUDGE, AND SOLAR SKANK BASSLINES, WHILE BELL SINGS WITH STRENGTH OVERHEAD…HER VOICE FLOWING FREELY BETWEEN SNOTTY POST-PUNK CHANTING, SWEET LYRICAL SERENADE, SEXUALIZED WHISPERING, AND WILD WORDLESS BABBLE. AND AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL, PRIMARY MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE ALTERNATELY DANCES ACROSS SPARKLING METALS AND TIGHTLY WOUND SKINS, OR SMASHES, BASHES, AND CRASHES HIS KIT INTO OBLIVION, WITH ALMOST EVERY TRACK FEATURING A TRULY SPELLBINDING DRUM PERFORMANCE THAT CONTINUOUSLY MORPHS BETWEEN HARD HITTING GROOVE PHYSICALITY AND PRISMATIC SPLATTER PSYCHEDELIA”
