about

LEEMOU, an AFRO-DISCO BEAT is composed around a Guitar Riff, Saskia has sampled from an Album she has played on from her First Reggae Band, named PI-Man & Memre Buku, sixteen years ago.This guitar riff is being played by Junior (British Guyana) and comes from the Afro-Carribean composition ‘Chicken’ by PI-man. Singer on LEEMOU is Mola Sylla (Senegal) who tributes in his lyrics the African Wood Sculpturists. Succeeded by Saskia’s Soulful Trumpet Playing, he sings Pure and Melancholic in his Native Language Wolof.
