About the Album
The pinnacle of versatility, talent, and musicianship, Pascal Bokar impresses everyone with his innovative combination of musical styles culminating into the unique blend he calls AfroBlueGrazz. The name derives from combining Afro-Funk, Blues, Bluegrass and Jazz to form a completely new sound blending the familiarity heard across a multi-genre performance. Pascal Bokar, as a music composer, vocalist, and guitarist, proudly expresses the musical textures of his Senegalese and Malian roots by including fiddle, balafon, and banjo with his AfroBlueGrazz Band. This award-winning musician has made a name for himself in both the national and international music industry. His previous CD entitled “Guitar Balafonics” received the “One of the Best CDs of the Year” award in 2015 from Downbeat Magazine and a 4 Star review. He is also a celebrated author of books describing the cultural connections between west African traditional music and the sounds of the Mississippi Delta “The Banjo is from West Africa” with a foreword by NEA Jazz Master Randy Weston. His latest book entitled Jazz, Culture & Social Justice; Soundtrack of America’s Art Form, received very good reviews from the NYC Jazz Record magazine in March of 2024.
