Born between Lyon and Ouagadougou, KUMA KURA is the meeting of Richard Monségu (Cie Antiquarks) and Jahkasa, a Burkinabe singer and balafon player. Together, they have created a new musical language, merging reggae, jazz, progressive rock, and traditional West African sounds.
Driven by a decolonial and humanist approach, the project celebrates friendship between peoples and questions cultural borders. Recorded in Ouagadougou, the album has balafon, Peul flute, n'goni, guitar, and drums come together in a vibrant, transcontinental groove.
A free and militant musical odyssey, blending poetry, rhythms, and fraternity!
