Album Description
Available in:
Taking a vacation from abstraction, Hassell kicks out a near set of dance tunes with Burkino Faso musicians, Farafina. So great is his exhilaration, he even gives us peeks at the natural timbre of his trumpet.
Flash of the Spirit is one of the albums that played a very important part in the development of the world music concept and scene. Jon Hassell's unique trumpet sound meets African traditional musics.
Founded in the early '80s, Farafina plays traditional music, inspired by the dances and songs of their medecine men, mixing together balafons, flutes and koras.
Farafina is still a very active band, teaching traditional musics to young African people, linking traditions with modernity, creating new musical landscapes where the instruments and the knowledge from the past meet digital technologies.
It was produced by Hassell, Daniel Lanois, and Brian Eno.
