Calabashmoon by Daniel Berkman
Calabashmoon is Daniel Berkman’s 4th recording
of music for the Kora (a 21-stringed harp/ lute
from West Africa). While his previous three CD’s
focused on Kora treated live with electronic devices
and looped in real time, Calabashmoon is a collection
of lush compositions, weaving in sounds and samples
from his tour with Diali Kunda Kouyate through
Senegal, Gambia and Mali in 2002.
Originally released in 2005.
