I thought I would write about something a bit different yet quite brilliant, im not overly familar with African music let alone Malian music but this is a really interesting and original album, especially compared to a lot of Western music.
Bassekou Kouyate is a musician who specialises in an instrument called the Ngoni which is basicly an African version of a lute and it makes an amazing sound. Kouyate has teamed up Ngoni Bar to create album packed full of raw soul, melody and invention.
You get really drawn into the music through the live produciton which makes the music sound like its being performed around you, a truely great album, natural and spirtual as anything as you will ever hear.
