TAL is a new label run by Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot) & Sven Kacirek. "On Mande" presents even richer instrumenation than its predecessor (released on Honest Jon's in 2014). We hear Nyatiti lute, Asili flute, Orutu strings and Box guitar (acoustic guitar) which are swiftly interwoven with fierce rhythms of Ohangla drums, various types of shakers and the scintillating vocal parts of Ogoya and the Dodo women choir.
