A showcase of Malian superstars, including Ali Farka Toure, Toumani Diabate, Rokia Traore, Oumou Sangare, and others. Great stuff, enhanced with the kind of informative notes you’d expect from a Smithsonian release. 1. Upbeat w/strong male vocals & nice work from the band. 2. Bluesy guitar, mid-tempo w/powerful female vocals. *3. Fast percussion/strings/vocals. Nicely energetic. 4. Mid/up-tempo harp/guitar/female vocals. *5. Male vox/chorus, deep strings, percussion. Mid-tempo. 6. Malian disco funk for female vocals & band. *7. A relaxed & melodic kora duet w/good interplay. *8. Wonderful blend of kora/balafon/voices, a great sound. 9. Tuareg folk w/droning male vox/strings. Interesting. 10. Female chorus/claps/drums, a strong folkloric sound. *11.Guitar/blues harmonica/vocals. Mid/uptempo. Cool. *12. Guitar/perc/vocals. Mid-tempo, gets into a nice groove. 13. Cool balafon-driven track w/a hypnotic beat & good vocals. 14. Bright mix of vocals/balafon/perc. Strong vocal harmonies. *15. “Mandinka rap”. Way cool blend of rap w/traditional instr. 16. Strong vocals and a relaxed Malian funk. 7/2003 | ||
