180 GRAM VINYL

180 gram vinyl. First released in 1988, Kaira was the debut album by Toumani Diabaté, master player of the kora - the West African harp with 21 strings. Kaira remains one of the most important and influential kora albums of all time. It was the first international release to feature a solo kora without voice. The album turned Toumani into a star overnight, whilst also establishing the kora's reputation as one of Africa's most captivating and versatile indigenous instruments. Kaira is now reissued on vinyl for the first time, as part of Chrysalis Records' acclaimed series of reissues of the music of Toumani Diabaté. Remastered from the production masters by Phil Kinrade, and cut by Jasper Ward, at AIR Mastering. Pressed on 180g vinyl and housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve. The album is accompanied by a 12" x 12" double-sided insert with new sleeve notes and previously unseen photographs by co-producer Lucy Durán.Kaira is also reissued on CD, in a 4-panel digisleeve with 8-page booklet.
