A female kora player! She’s something of a champion for women’s rights in Mali, especially their right to produce music and have access to instruments traditionally reserved for men. Trained by Toumani Diabate. She’s a dextrous player, and the compositions are very cool, mostly midtempo and featuring her kind of shrill (though not unpleaseant) voice leading a female chorus. 1. Relaxed and sweet. Nicely swaying. *2. Gets the head nodding. Good showcase for her kora. *3. A more upbeat bounce w/nice vocals. 4. High vocals, balafon accents, midtempo. *5. A capella intro. Kora/balafon/chorus. Nice percussion. Mid/up. 6. Fast w/tripping vocals and strong work from all. 7. Spoken intro. Sweet, midtempo w/a bright sound. 8. Starts slow, gets into a catchy perc-driven blend. *9. A touch of the Carribbean. Sweet, playful, midtempo Calypso. 10. High chorus, drums, mid/uptempo blend. 11. Relaxed quiet version of #3. Sweet and lowkey. 12. Acoustic, quiet version of #6. Just voice & kora. Lovely. | ||
