Paris/LA drummer Lucas Lenny, Elhadji Sora, a Kora player from Dakar, Senegal, and Southern California bassist Baltazar Montoya meet on this fabulous work.
“Wander” opens with the profound charm of the melodies of Kora, a traditional instrument in West Africa. Its passages take you to a twilight wasteland with only distant stars twinkling in the sky, and now you are a lonely traveler walking under their light in search of sacred knowledge on the map of fate. The rhythm section moves throughout the track in a jazz manner, emphasizing the beauty of the intertwining notes in the emerging imagery. “Wander” is piercing world fusion that feels like a warming, heavenly flame brought in human hands.
