Hailing from the country of Guinea-Bissau, gifted guitarist, percussionist and balafn (African xylophone) player Kimi Djabat is one of Africa's most exceptional talents. Now based in Lisbon, Djabat has collaborated with Mory Kant, Waldemar Bastos and Netos de Gumb, and, most recently, the pop star Madonna on her single "Ciao Bella." On Djabat's exceptional new album Dindin, the multitalented musician carries on the customs of his griot heritage, singing entrancingly about the complexity of life in modern Africa for a broad, international audience. Blending traditional Afro-Portuguese rhythms with Afrobeat grooves, electric desert blues and hints of Afro-Latin swing, Djabat weaves a unique tapestry of smooth and intricate sounds. Dindin is both highly personal, featuring intimate songs dedicated to family and friends, and undeniably universal in its themes of love, communication and human connection.
