GROUP LEADER:  MAHAMA BRAIMAH
RECORDED BY JOHN MILLER CHERNOFF

Dagbamba fiddlers and rattle players surround you when you dance, and the music envelopes and goes right into your body. Until you experience the music in this way, it is hard to believe that so much intensity and energy can come from a ensemble of fiddles. The group was hot the day I made this recording, and the music is very, very easy to get with. Fiddles are widespread in West Africa, and I hope that this recording will add a new dimension to our appreciation of the soundscape of the African-American Diaspora.

   --John M. Chernoff, from the liner notes
