Raaga trio

where jazz and west african music meet

About Me

Raaga Trio plays a subtle fusion of jazz and traditional west African music. Made up of three members from different backgrounds, the trio’s music pulls you into deep currents of Mandingue feeling and Jazzy sound and sweeps you away with the magnificent ngoni and bass ngoni of Andra Kouyaté, the excellent rhythms of the percussionist Baba Konaté and the harmonious, electric tones of Andreas Fulgosi’s superb guitar work. The Raaga Trio bring Jazz and Mandingue music together with amazing results – the music is an invitation to embark on a journey through sound, and a chance to experience its positivity, its humanity and its generosity. Listen without moderation.

Raaga Trio est un fin métissage entre le jazz et la musique traditionnelle ouest africaine. Composé de trois musiciens de courants musicaux différents, Raaga Trio nous fait partager des compositions dans lesquelles nous découvrons les profondeurs des sentiments Mandingues et les sonorités Jazzy. Nous voilà emportés par le magnifique jeu au ngoni et ngoni basse de Andra Kouyaté, par l'excellente rythmique du percussionniste Baba Konaté et l'harmonique guitare aux sonorités électriques de Andreas Fulgosi. Lorsque le Jazz rencontre la musique Mandingue , nous sommes face a une surprise musicale inattendue, une invitation au voyage sonore, un mélange de positivités, d 'humanité et de générosité. A écouter sans modération.
