NOUMUSO

NOUMUSO stands for nouvelle musique solar
Their vision is to create new sunmusic by mixing traditional african instruments like kora, djembé, doundoun or kalimba with universal grandpianos, neosouljazzkeys and timeless new african riddims. Westafrican mandingue music, hiphopbeats, jazz, free floating vibe music, deep, open and universal, mostly instrumental, sometimes with vocals and spoken words.
Based in St.Gallen, Switzerland this group was formed by Swiss Drummer & Producer Ema Nuel and Djembéfola Yamoussa Sylla from Guinee Conakry. Koraplayer Sadio Cissokho from a famous Senegalese Griotfamily and Dave Mäder on Bass completin’ the mainband. 17 musicians from Guinea, Senegal, SouthAfrica and Switzerland were invited to perform on their debut record „freequency of da sun“ (which is dedicated to all african people worldwide (BLM)). Among them Jazzpianist, Healer & BlueNoteRecords - Artist Nduduzo Makhathini from South Africa, who is currently the most celebrated Jazzmusician from Africa.
The songs talk about patience, healing, team spirit, peace, a new education for our kids and about the sun as a symbol of love. Real soulmusic straight from da heart, NOUMUSO spreadin’ hope and sunluv!
