Mandeng Groove - Conakry

Rumpus Room - RR003

Focus on Conakry, the debut full-length LP from the 6-piece ensemble Mandeng Groove. Co-created by Guinean-Australian multi-instrumentalist Amadou Kalissa and Melbourne guitarist and producer Kyle Muir, Mandeng Groove's music is a vibrant bridge between continents, a "musical gift from Conakry to Coburg." At the heart of their compelling live performances lies the kora, the traditional harp of the Manding people of West Africa, through which they breathe new life into traditional repertoire with fresh and original interpretations. This dynamic blend of traditional sounds with jazz, soul, funk, and all things groove, is a testament to the band's concurrently deep, immersive, energetic, and fun approach to music.
