Re: [Harp-L] Fwd: African harp players?

["Ben FELTEN [ML]" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can think if at least one more "real one" and one "false one".

The real one is Jean Emilien from Madagascar. He plays tremolo and his 
stuff is wonderfully quaint in the odd rhythms of mada.

The "false one" is Vincent Bucher who has played for over a decade in 
Tao Ravao's malagasy formation Tany Manga, and who also plays on many 
albums by African starts like Lobi Traoré.

I think Rory McLeod plays on Ali Farka Toure's The River, but I still 
haven't been able to locate that album...
