“Drunk Dionysus” is the Voodoo Drummer’s new composition feat. Mamadou Diabate and available for stream through the YouTube player below:
“Inspired by his ancestors, he has created an Afro-Dionysian experimental piece where weird Cello voices dance on top of a unique combination of odd rhythms, followed by a swinging version of a 9/8 Greek dance. Therein enters the Balafon master Mamadou Diabate from Burkina Faso (West Africa).
In this track, the God of wine, theatre, fertility, ritual insanity, the notorious libertine himself Dionysus, is just drunk as usual!
(The truth is that after listening one cannot help but ask: Who is drunk, Dionysus or the Voodoo Drummer?!!)” – Voodoo Drummer
