Malian balafon player Neba Solo and donso n’goni player Benego Diakite’s A Djinn and a Hunter Went Walking—the first in a series of new releases in collaboration with longtime Nonesuch partner Nick Gold, former head of World Circuit Records—features the leading players of their traditional instruments: the marimba-like balafon, or bala, and donso n’goni, a hunter’s harp. On the album, co-produced by Gold, Ousmane Haidara, and Sonny Johns, the acoustic instrumentals are complemented by vocals and percussion as well as touches of mellotron, guitar, and strings.The CD version includes a second disc of their original duo performances, unadorned, recorded in a Bamako garden under a mango tree. They started after the sun went down, and crickets can be heard chirping during the quiet moments.
