World Routes - Cimarron and Carlou D

Lucy Duran presents two specially recorded sessions from Latin America and Africa. Cimarron perform the joyful and energetic 'musica llanero' from the vast central plains of Colombia, with virtuosic harp-playing and songs to milk cows by. While Carlou D brings his big-range, soulful voice to a mixture of songs that celebrate Muslim mysticism and warn of the dangers facing his homeland Senegal.
