about

A duo brought together by a shared passion for world stories and lost cultures, and their
abilities to preserve narratives through sound, namely in the language of electronic music
spoken in its most native and tribal form, Sparrow & Barbossa imparts MoBlack Records
with a dancefloor-geared and strikingly elegant rendition of Fatoumata Diawara's 2018
original. The Malian actress/singer/guitar player and songwriter's "Nterini" brought to life, a
story so personal yet universal as heartbreak and loneliness, from a modern-day romance
afflicted by a deep-rooted contemporary global phenomenon, drawing these inherent
ambiguities through an interplay of traditional and modern musical techniques and
mechanisms. Swiss Bryan Coletta and Uruguayan Emiliano Haberli break down Diawara's
masterpiece, piquing its brokenness to recreate an experience from a new perspective,
maintaining focus on its gripping Bambara lyrics, the timelessness of traditional African
percussion, versatility of tribal rhythms and the ubiquity of migration not only in the
composer's narrative but in a global context. Set off by hearty bass in the uncertainty of
hastened tempo, Sparrow & Barbossa retrieve the original's vulnerability through tender
piano riffs before nostalgia hits and emotions pour with Fatoumata Diawara's climactic
vocals and motion-inducing drum processions break free, evoking the liberating and binding
allure of movement and fundamental humanity in dance.
