French-Malian duo, Ballaké Sissoko & Vincent Ségal, were recently featured on PRI The World’s website highlighting Chamber Music, a collaboration of elegant and beautiful recordings of refined world music. Although Chamber Music is largely a duo project, there is the occasional guest adding percussion, voice or other strings to vary the texture and add layers of influential, worldly sounds.

Released during Ghana’s music explosion of the 1970’s, K. Frimpong & His Cubano Fiestas is a celebratory and powerful follow up to previous work and contains infectious, funky Afrobeat sounds that cannot be forgotten. With a fusion of rhythms inspired by traditional Ghanaian Highlife nearly 35 years ago, this record still sounds remarkably fresh to this day. Thanks to Secret Stash Records, fans near and far can purchase and listen to the first complete vinyl  and mp3 of this West African masterpiece today.
