Béla Fleck: Throw Down Your Heart, Africa Sessions, Vol. 2 (2010)

The follow-up album to the 2 time Grammy winning album ‘Throw Down Your Heart‘. ‘Africa Sessions: Part 2‘ marks the first release through Béla Fleck’s own label, Acoustic Planet. “This is a labor of love for me,” adds Béla. “I’m so glad to be getting this music out there and providing the opportunity for you to hear these magnificent musicians.”
The expanded musical travelogue includes collaborations in the Malian desert with guitarist Afel Bocoum, a spontaneous hotel recording with bowed lyrist Albert Bisaso Ssempeke, Jr., thumb pianist Haruna Walisimbe (“a wonderful spirit”), an old fiddle tune (“The Rights of Man”) melded with the Haruna Samake Trio, and traditional Malian music with tour mate Bassekou Kouyate. Béla Fleck also joined the Muwewesu Xylophone Group (“I didn’t know what beat I was on, but I didn’t care”), blind thumb pianist Anania Ngoliga, Malian star Oumou Sangare, guitarists Djelimady Tounkara and D’Gary, the Jatta Family, and met up with akonting player Jesus Jah Jarju in an abandoned nightclub in the Gambia.
