Ramon Goose, well-known for his work with experimental/alternative group Nublues and the production of Boo Boo Davis's latest efforts, spices up the new recordings of Senegalese singer/kora player Diabel Cissokho with superlative blues guitar lines. A daring, seamless album that combines two musical idioms organically, Mansana Blues is both fresh and seminal. The poignant conversations between Diabel's kora and Ramon's slide guitar are truly exhilarating.
