Så er vi hjemme igen... Det er dejligt men hold op hvor er det koldt... Med 2 måneders sommer i kroppen har jeg dog lidt at stå imod med. Og bizart meget lyst til at danse... det havde jeg ikke i Mali... hvorfor så nu?
Jeg har nu ikke fået danset så meget endnu, men til gengæld har jeg oprettet en myspace profil for KonoKone projektet... Her kan du blandt andet høre første udkast til mit og Kèmè Sidibés bidrag til projektet. Sangen hedder SIKI og blev til ved at jeg i nogle uger har arbejdet på et instrumentalt track med balafon og dronekor. Helt tilfældigt opdagede jeg at mit nummer gik i samme toneart og var i samme tempo som et af de a capella spor, som Kèmè helt uden at have hørt mit nummer har lagt, da vi var i Yanfolila. Bagefter klippede jeg lidt i det og vupti, så var der resultat... Bedøm selv: www.myspace.com/konokone
Om mig
- Solveig's blog about the early stages of KonoKone
- In December 2009 - January 2010 I went on a trip to Mali. The aim was to start up KonoKone, a coalition between female musicians from Mali and Denmark. Before going to Mali I had put together a line up of prolific, Danish indie musicians for the project. The first thing I did when I came to Mali was to make contact with some interesting - and rather untraditional - female artists in Mali. For the next 5-6 weeks I facilitated a number of long distance co-writes between the Danish and the Malian artists. When back in Denmark I handed out the recordings to the artists involved and let them take over from there. This was how it started. Since I have gone back to Mali once. In September 2010 some of the Malian musicians came to Denmark to participate in My World Images Festival together with their Danish colleagues. So far KonoKone has released one EP, "Hvorfor græder nattens fugle?" which roughly means "why are the birds of the night crying?". In January 2011 the Danish participants of konoKone are going to Mali for a month during which they will go on a tour and record new stuff with their Malian colleagues.
