From the creeks of Marseille to the backwaters of Bamako, Nicolas Buffet’s Bamakonnexion is a fabulous musical and human journey, an unfinished story that finally reaches a joyful conclusion with the release of his new album today.
In this album, the music is immediate, played with souls that meet and harmonize, blending blues, British rock, reggae, and Mandingue sounds effortlessly, without artifice, in perfect symbiosis.
Bamakonnexion, beyond being the musical logbook of a lifetime, is a universal declaration of love. A pact of friendship that will take on the spirit of grand festive ceremonies—live—as soon as borders allow Nicolas Buffet’s Malian brothers and sisters to reunite.
