Aly Keita Trio

The swirling balafon game by Aly Keita is spectacular. The mallets in his hands seem to dance over the bars. Born into a family of musicians, Aly Keita has been building and playing his own instruments since childhood, and has made it to the top of the list today: Omar Sosa, Joe Zawinul, Rhoda Scott, Paco Séry, Karim Ziad, Pharoah Sanders, Paolo Fresu, Today, Aly Keita lives in Berlin, where he met the Dutch drummer Marcel van Cleef and the Italian bassist Roberto Badoglio. In their music, they wander between spectacular African rhythm, polyphony and elements of jazz, combining them into a wonderful and unique sound.
