Nino Galissa’s latest album, Africa Today, is a diary of hopes and dreams through which the Guinean singer-songwriter, based in Catalonia, expresses his vision of an African continent free from hunger, poverty, war, disease, and death – a continent where music serves as a force for unity, wealth, and peace. With his inseparable kora and a musical sensitivity that leaves no one untouched, Nino brings us this album while also revisiting iconic songs by those who came before it, sung in Mandinka, Creole, Fula, English, Spanish, and Catalan. — CdM
