Afrocubism

The great world music album that-never-was has finally been realised. World Circuit, the label that brought the world Buena Vista Social Club, presents the original idea for that project - a stellar collaboration between Malian and Cuban musicians. Featuring Eliades Ochoa, Toumani Diabate, Bassekou Kouyate, Djelimady Tounkara, Kasse Mady Diabate and Grupo Patria. This is the project World Circuit's Nick Gold set out to record in 1996 in Havana. but the Malians were unable to travel to Cuba and the record that was made instead became the multi-million selling Buena Vista Social Club.
