World Music: Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara, "Kele Kele"
(UK/Gambia) Justin Adams has been straddling two worlds for years. As a rock n' roll and R & B player, and as a musician who has also carefully integrated both northern and subsaharan African guitar styles, he has been Robert Plant's player of choice. When he teamed up with Gambian Ritti-player and griot Juldeh Camara, the chemistry was spot on, and their first effort "Soul Science" was a formidable debut. Now they are back with a second CD, "Tell No Lies." "Kele Kele" has a rocking Bo Diddley beat, but Camara supplies some mellow vocals. Joining the musicians in the video are Justin and Juldeh's sons, and the lady who shares the spotlight with them is Mim Suleiman.
