The project came together when Winqvist made a trip to Toubab Dialaw, a former fishing village an hour down the coast from Dakar that’s now home to a thriving arts community. Over the course of several weeks, he befriended local musicians, including Kane, and recorded a few improv sessions. Back home in Sweden, Winqvist enlisted friends to augment the tapes with sax, keys, and more, then passed the files back and forth over WhatsApp with Kane, and the two men refashioned the pieces into a fluid fugue of a set. Their dub-like edits—sliding a track’s levels around the bass, winding up a spoken vocal with reverb and delay—unify two very different styles of music; neither the Senegalese nor the Swedes ever seem to be in total control of the record, but instead their contributions work off of one another.
