Following our presentation of the great Yusufu Olatunji in a previous post here, we share another precious recording of his Sakara music – a deep Yoruba traditional genre tinged with Arab-Islamic influences featuring male voices, percussion and goje violin. This brilliant slow-moving flow of delicate, complex and majestic music radiates peace, fire and lofty dignity.

Suite à notre présentation de Yusufu Olatunji dans un post précédent ici, nous partageons à présent un autre enregistrement précieux de sa musique Sakara – un genre traditionnel yoruba teinté d’influences arabo-islamiques avec des voix d’hommes, des percussions et un violon goje. Ce flux sonore complexe, brillant et délicat rayonne de paix, de feu et de noble plénitude.
