The Title Song On The CD Idjo Played Daily On Ivory Coast's National Radio Station For Over A Year. Returning To Europe Argile Invited The Well-Known Guinean Singer Sona Tata Conde To Accompany Them On Their Tour In Germany. In 1998 They Recorded The CD Live In Africa And Europe Which Also Documents Argile's First Meeting With Sona Diabate. Between 1998 And 2000 Argile Has Played More Than 200 Concerts In Europe With Aicha Kouyate Dancer Ramata Conde And Djembe Player Kassoum Traore Below . Special Guests Have Included Such African Greats As Oumou Sangare Famoudou Konate Soungalo Coulibaly El Houssaine Kili And Farafina.

Now In 2008 The Group Surrounding The German Bandleader And Flutist Dieter Weberpals Plays Some Intoxicating “imaginary Folk Music For Cosmopolitans” And Published A New Album "filefola / The Flute Album" With The Participation Of Moussa Diallo From Denmark Oumou Mariko & Drisa Kone From Bamako/Mali A.O. Between Trance-Grooves West-African Polyrhythms Zagazougou-Accordion Oriental Ballads And Balkan-Dances Flavored With Jazz Argile Establishes Ties Within The Difficult Cultural Environment Between Africa The Orient And Europe. The German Daily "Nürnberger Nachrichten“ Says "The Strengths Of Argile Are On The One Hand Its Good Musicians And On The Other Hand Its Concept Which Doesn’t Mix European And African Elements Into An Undefinable Pabulum But Preserves The Distinctiveness Of Both.” In The USA Ethnomusic-Specialist Michael Wall Writes Succinctly “Herbie Mann Meets Mamady Keita”. Sure Enough “Filefola”* Weberpals’ Music Reminds One Of The Great American Flutist. But In “Kinkeliba ” Jethro Tull Fans Can Find A Song On The Current Album That Has The Potential To Become A Hit -- Like “Locomotive Breath” With Just A Slight African Touch. *Bamana Language In English Flutist
