DJARABI from Doni Doni by CBB Ensemble

PL: Licząca kilkaset lat klasyka repertuary kory, 22-strunowej harfy z Afryki Zachodniej, to jedna z najstarszych pieśni miłosnych świata. Opowieść o żywym uczuciu między dwojgiem ludzi, stała się dla nas metaforą miłości do domu i do bliskich ludzi, których z różnych, często dramatycznych powodów tysiące ludzi opuszcza w naszych czasach, aby szukać schronienia w innej części świata w poszukiwaniu lepszego życia czy też życia po prostu.

ENG: The 22-string kora, (or West-African harp), is one of West Africa's oldest instruments and Djarabi is one of its oldest love songs. This is story of love and unity and we dedicate this song to those who, for whatever reason, (often tragic), are forced to leave their home and seek refuge in another country, often leaving their loved ones behind.

The CBB Ensemble is inextricably linked with Poland's first school of West African music and dance - City Boom Boom, which was founded in 2003 by Wojciech Peczek. The secret to this group's longevity is without doubt, its love for music in its purest form. The group combines world music and jazz with west african rhythms, forming the background to their spectacular dance performances.
