Kondi Band 'Salone' STRUT355LP he rejected any commercial aestheticA collaboration between Sierra Leonean kondi (thumb piano) player Sorie Kondi and US producer DJ Chief Boima, who himself has Sierra Leonean roots. The project was spawned after Boima happened upon an online video of one of Sories original tracks. Sorie Kondi is a blind musician with a will to thrive like no person I have met before, explains Boima. My work with him began with a YouTube link. I spotted the video for his track Without Money No Family
