Sub-Saharan music in a North African setting. Catchy, call-and-response songs. Most have piano, which does not really seem to fit, but sometimes gives the tunes a lot of texture and provides good bridge between phrases. The group seems to have been trying to update traditional music to more modern (and Western) sensibilities. *1 – Call-and-response male vocals, bass (or something similar), flute, violin *2 – Fast percussion, mandolin, prominent gypsy-style violin, call-and-response male vocals, piano backup 3 – Odd mixture of percussion and new age piano, violin; a soothing (if odd) piece 4 – Mandolin, call-and-respones vocals in Arabic, understated sax *5 – Mid-tempo percussion, cool male vocals (some call-and-response), saxophone, more African than Mid Eastern feel 6 – Mid-tempo, doodling percussion, guitar-like instrument, inexplicable piano, group male vocals; a meandering jam-session piece 7 – Fast beat, bass, mandolin, understated piano, nice male vocals (group and solo) *8 – Fast beat, ethereal, soaring male vocals (cool), midi percussion (works here) 9 – Traditional male vocals, bass-like instrument, | ||
