Sierra Leonean Thumb Piano Maestro Sorie Kondi x Dutty Artz


Dutty Artz is set for a digital release of Sierra Leonean thumb-piano (kondi) virtuoso Sorie Kondi's Thogolobea — an anticipatory palate-whetter before the upcoming release of a Sorie full-length produced by Chief Boima. Thogolobea serves as the perfect introduction to the self-taught Sorie Kondi, whose extreme hardships have seen him persevere through blindness and the Sierra Leonean Civil War. For more from Sorie take a look at our previous feature on him, plus Chief Boima's remix of his anthem "Without Money No Family." Watch the clip for "Sorie Thogolobea" below and look for Thogolobea dropping March 5 on Dutty Artz.
