Baba Alade – “Unified and One” (CD/Mp3)
 |
“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, this CD 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. |
| Baba Alade, grew up in Watts, California and approaches his folk/ blues from his urban roots, armed with Banjo in hand. Baba is a poetic wordsmith who sings of love, lost and found through sweet melodies that resonate in your mind. While the tunes ring with the sweetness of a child they reflect the wisdom of an elder. He has played with everyone from Taj Mahal, Babatunde Olatunji to the great jazz legend, Charles Lloyd. His mesmerizing performances are legendary. |
