Minimalism in Africa: Terry Riley's "In C" travels to Mali
On this week's installment of Africa O-Yé, we air a recent Malian recording of "In C", the influential minimalist work by the American composer Terry Riley. In C Mali is performed by a large ensemble of mostly traditional African instruments. The first hour of the show will feature some new (and not-so-new) music from Ba Cissoko and Bassekou Kouyaté, and Issa Bagayogo. This week's host: Andy Hosch.
