Madioko & Rafika
French DJ/producer/musician Madioko has put together a wondrous collection of 9 multi-instrumentalists plus singer Rafika, in fine Afrofunk Oriental mode for European touring. A meeting of ethnic, rhythmic & electronic minds. BBC world music DJ Charlie Gillet says .. ‘for the second week in a row, I played Hellelliloua by Madiko & Rafika from their new Rhythm ‘n Bled CD, a very interesting hybrid project which includes musicians and singers from both north and south of the Sahara, featuring Moriba Koita playing ngoni and an excellent singer songwriter called Rafika, who must be from Algeria or Morocco. Although the track I played is acoustic, several of the others feature a heavier bottom end, making this is an album to search for if you ever play dance music in clubs.’
