This husband and wife team from Mali delivers another great performance. He’s got a great voice and plays a mean guitar. Her voice isn’t as powerful, but there’s a kind of gentleness about it that’s nice. Funky, bluesy, cool. I liked it all.

*1. Great bluesy sound, cool guitars.
*2. Funky bass, driving vox, trumpet.
*3. Upbeat w/lots of percussion & a 70s funk feel.
4. Female vox, perc, guitars, uptempo.
5. Cool piano, female vox, upbeat.
6. Djembe, fem vox, male chorus. Catchy.
*7. Funky mix of vox, drums, more.
8. Slower w/a melodic groove..
9. Busy soup of vox/guitars/keyboards/drums.
10. Upbeat w/some cool organ riffs.
11. Mid-tempo funk.
*12. Fast groove w/some great flute.
