Diagne, Amadou & Cory Seznec - Touki

Plastic Man

Touki - the collective created by British-Senegalese musician Amadou Diagne and Franco-American Cory Seznec - is back with the release of their second album Plastic Man. Toukis sound infuses East and West African styles and traditions with Appalachian banjo, folk motifs, and orchestral arrangements. Diagnes powerful percussion, Seznecs muted guitar-picking and rapid-fire banjo-frailing, and Wickels cello-grooves provide a rhythmic foundation, while vocals, kora and violins add beautiful texture and emotional depth. The scorching sounds of Endris Hassens masenqo (one-stringed bowed lute) are peppered throughout the album, providing punctual pitstops at an Ethiopian azmari-bet.
