Album lore

Les Go De Koteba’s 2001 release on Juna unfolds over eight tracks, each a succinct statement within the world and African genres, with an intriguing nod to skirt rhythms. The ensemble’s modest presence on Last.fm—177 listeners and under a thousand scrobbles—belies the record’s quiet endurance among collectors. Tracks like "Bara" and "Kele Magni" offer a direct line to the group’s rhythmic and melodic sensibilities, steeped in regional tradition yet framed within a contemporary context.Recorded and released at the dawn of the new millennium, Les Go De Koteba’s album captures a moment of cross-cultural dialogue, its grooves balanced between danceable pulse and instrumental interplay. The eight compositions, including "Wari," "Kalabante," and "M'Bara Seri," suggest a tight-knit session rather than sprawling improvisations. This record is a worthy artifact for those attuned to the subtler currents of African music in the early 2000s, preserved here on the Juna label.
