Elhzo is the name of the solo project from Demba Seye Gueye , Senegalese jazz drummer and multi-instrumentalist, presents Yeuk Yeuk, his debut album where he implements both his rhythmic mastery and compositional versatility. Yeuk Yeuk is embellished with Jazz and Afro-Jazz hints, grooves hailed from Funk, all of it tied together by Elhzo?s singing, which ranges from the use of Wolof to French, interlacing elements of the Senegalese Griot culture with the best European Jazz culture. This album sketches a context of constant dialogue and collaboration between the African and European music world, which tells about both the pride for the own roots and openness to multicultralism. Definitely an actual and modern work about the current socio-cultural scene we live in.
