The Malian singer/composer/guitarist scores again with a release full of the passionate, Afro blues music for which he is justly famous. He’s backed by a small combo which includes accordion, harmonica, balafon and traditional percussion. It’s rich , honest, and oh so good. He knows pain, and it comes though in his music. Yow. Play it all!!! 1. Relaxed, midtempo w/cool harmonica accents. 2. Slow w/great guitar & vox. Simple but powerful. 3. Midtempo & bouncy w/cool percussion. 4. As Byrd would say “this is the shit.” Nice blues bounce. 5. Great vocals, driving rhythm. Just so cool. 6. Great guitar/harmonica duet. Down/midtempo. Dang! 7. Bright & simple. Joyful use of balafon. Picks up. Ahhh.. 8. Rich vocals, midtempo & catchy. Nice blend of sounds. 9. Slow & elegant, then gets upbeat. Sweet & nicely melodic. | ||
