Through the sensitive and expert interweaving of improvised trumpet and flamenco guitar, with traditional Mandingo kora and voices from Senegal, FlamenKora creates timeless and enchanting multicultural music, a welcome balm in these troubled times.

Flamenco guitar master Alejandro Moreno adds authentic Spanish flair with catchy rhythms and subtle, imaginative colors.

Grâce à l'entrelacement sensible et expert de la trompette improvisée et de la guitare flamenco, avec la kora traditionnelle mandingue et les voix du Sénégal, FlamenKora crée une musique multiculturelle intemporelle et enchanteresse, un baume bienvenu en ces temps troublés. Les lignes évocatrices de la trompette de Volker Goetze dansent gracieusement avec la voix et la kora de son nouveau partenaire de duo, l'estimé maître de la musique traditionnelle mandingue, Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko. Le maître de la guitare flamenco Alejandro Moreno ajoute une touche espagnole authentique avec des rythmes entraînants et des couleurs subtiles et imaginatives. En tant que fondateur et producteur du groupe, Goetze apporte à FlamenKora une sagesse particulière, qu'il a acquise non seulement au cours de décennies de dévouement à la musique mandé d'Afrique de l'Ouest, mais aussi grâce à une profonde maîtrise de la composition et de l'arrangement de jazz, et à une plongée récente dans les traditions mélodiques et rythmiques du flamenco et du maqam.
