“The crown honor is befitting of this one,” is a close translation to the proverb of Baba Alade. His crown is a story and he finds many ways to tell it.
“Unified and One” has as many names as the Blues. “It could have been called any one of the other songs,” he says, because, “it’s all the blues.”
As the lead off track, “Unified and One” is given the responsibility of introducing you to a musician that does so many different things.
He’s a banjo player that can tell you about the history of the kora and other instruments that have been integral to the voyage and continuum of African peoples.
He’s a guitar player that sings of loves lost and love at first sight that never passes.
