Breton flutes meet flutes and percussion from Niger in a unique new recording of cross-cultural music. Yacouba Moumouni (flute, vocals), Boubacar Souleymane (singer, percussionist, guitar and kountigui - a one-stringed lute), and Jean-Luc Thomas (ebony flute, electronics, vocals) are joined by a few guests on percussion, strings and tuba. On the whole, Serendou's Zinder mines a sonorous palette of influences to create an original, vital statement. The composed and the spontaneous merge, and flow with grace into something wondrous.
