Where it came from
Released in 1977 on the Sonafric label, this self-titled record by Senegalese kora master Lamine Konté represents a significant moment in the cross-pollination of traditional West African music and international production standards. During this era, the Parisian label Sonafric acted as a critical conduit for African musicians looking to record and distribute their work to a global audience, providing a platform that preserved the delicate, intricate melodies of the kora while applying the production techniques of the time.
Lamine Konté was renowned for his virtuosity on the kora, a 21-string harp-lute central to the Mandinka musical tradition. This album serves as a refined showcase of his ability to blend ancient griot storytelling traditions with contemporary arrangements. The design reflects the aesthetic of 1970s world music releases, prioritizing an authentic, intimate portrait of the artist that emphasizes his deep connection to the instrument, a choice that solidified his reputation as a primary ambassador of Senegalese musical culture in Europe.
