I started to play folk-music, then jazz-rock before I got interested in computer-aided musical composition.
A trip to Zaire in 1989 gave me the opportunity to get acquainted with African music.
I started to be active as a producer-arranger for various African artists a bit later. Up to now I have produced/directed/ played in 5 CDs.
Embowassa : Tuta Weza (1992) Dominic Kakolobango : Habari Za Kwetu (1995) Malick Pathé Sow & Welnere : Danniyanke (1998)
, Diariyata (2002) Pas Mal + : Chacun Pour Soi (2004)
The sixth Muzungu (January 2006) was the first under my name and features my afro-jazz compositions. It is a mix of intello jazz and african rythms, mainly from Congo, Rwanda and Burundi.
I have now finished my new afro-jazz CD, which is mainly centered on west-african music. It is called Xelu Sowu ("The Spirit of the West" in wolof). It also includes brazilian influences as in a congolese samba (yes, yes !)
You can listen to 5 minutes excerpts of some of the tracks on my myspace page.
Full info, bios and downloads for Xelu Sowu and all the artists I have worked with available at my site : www.robertfalk.com Mondomix : (www.mondomix.com) Afrique Music : (www.afrique.music.com)
