Kondi Band — We Famous (Strut)

We Famous by The Kondi Band

This second outing from Sierra Leonian thumb piano master Sorie Kondi and DJ Chef Boima, continues to explore the intersection of traditional rhythms and Western dance beats. These cuts emphasize the hypnotic, multi-tonal syncopations of the Kondi, a mbira-like instrument from Sierra Leone, and the elemental vocals of a pre-electric tradition, yet present them within the context of pulsing electronics. Critically, though, the context never overwhelms the music, just updates it a bit and puts it in sharper focus.

The disc opens the brief “We Famous,” setting the groundwork with all extraneous elements stripped back. We hear just the staccato patter of kondi paired with deep-voiced call and response. A piano joins soon after, echoing the complex patterns of percussive melody and Westernizing the sound just a touch. “Shake Your Tumba” builds on this foundation, but dials up the tension with a glitchy beat and club-worthy echoes. The tumba, whatever it is, feels fully shaken.

Two singles feature guest singers, an addition which does haul Kondi Band’s aesthetic into the 21st century. Mariama Jalloh trills and flutes and melisma-lizes like a modern pop diva against pre-modern drone and syncopation in “She Doesn’t Love You.” “It’s God’s World” thumps with resounding momentum, supplied by LA musician and producer Sweatson Klank.

I liked Kondi Band’s mystical qualities on the first full-length, Salone, of which I wrote, “This combination of constant kinetic movement and sustained vocals gives the music a curious aura of serenity in flux.” We Famous feels a bit more hedonistic, a bit more removed from the older elements. And yet, it is very good at capturing the radiant runs of kondi, the dusky interplay of men’s voices engaged in singing discourse.  “Fatou,” especially, captures the exotic propulsion, the communal celebratory-ness that this band is capable of, embellishing it only slightly with synth blasts.

There’s no question that people dance to this music, whether in its original, African form, or here, slightly altered by a member of the African diaspora. It’s a bit of a hybrid, but authentic in its own way to two traditions, meeting not seamlessly, but in pursuit of the same body-moving objectives.

The Kondi Band - Salone

Strut present an inspired new Afro-electronic project for June 2017, Kondi Band, a collaboration between Sierra Leonean kondi (thumb piano) player Sorie Kondi and US producer / DJ Chief Boima, who himself has Sierra Leonean roots. The project was spawned after Boima happened upon an online video of one of Sorie’s original tracks, ‘Without Money No Family’, which he then remixed. After a Kickstarter campaign, Sorie travelled to the US to play a series of gigs with Boima and began recording new material. “Sorie Kondi is a blind musician with a will to thrive like no person I have met before,” explains Boima. “This album forges a direct link between techno born in the black cities of the American Mid-West, where I grew up, and roots African music.”

“Y’Alimamy (Chief Boima Remix)” - Kondi Band

[especias]

Kondi Band, es una colaboración entre el mùsico de Sierra Leona Sorie Kondi y el productor y DJ estadounidense Boima, quien también tiene raíces en Sierra Leona. El proyecto surgió después de que Boima apareciera en un video online de una de las canciones originales de Sorie, "Without Money No Family", que luego remezcló. Después de una campaña de Kickstarter, Sorie viajó a los EE.UU. para tocar en una serie de conciertos con Boima y comenzó a grabar nuevo material. "Este álbum forja un vínculo directo entre el techno nacido en las ciudades negras del Mid-West americano, donde crecì, y las raíces de música africana".

Kondi Band – We Famous (2021)

“Kondi Band finds, or maybe forges, the link between hand-hewn folk music and modern electronic music. Led by Sierra Leone’s Sorie Kondi playing a custom-build 15-pin lamellophone called the ‘kondi,’ the band is a collaboration with producers Chief Boima and Will LV, based in Los Angeles and London respectively. But Kondi (the man) and kondi (the instrument) are unmistakably the star of Kondi (the band). The modern production is always graciously at service to Kondi’s beautiful voice, and rhythmic playing. ...”
