Amadou Balake-Señor Eclectico. (Burkina Faso)

A definite eclectic groove here – music that has its roots in Mandingo and Dioula rhythms, but also features a fair bit of American funk and soul touches too – sometimes in the heavy grooves on the bottom, sometimes in the rumbling basslines and guitar parts too! The collection is a wonderful look at the early work of singer Amadou Balake – and it features material from the years before his international fame, when he was rooting around in a variety of wonderful styles. There's a gritty quality to most of the work here – and the collection is one that sits nicely next to some of the rougher-edged Nigeria Special sets on Soundway – offering up a similarly refreshing look at a slice of the African scene of the 70s that too often gets obscured by familiar world music cliches. Balake's vocals are pretty great too – but we'll be honest in saying that it's the rhythms, instrumentation, and production of these tunes that we're really digging the most! CD features 13 tracks that include "Aminata Du The", "Fanta", "Dounia Mokolou", "Djeli Fama", "Kambele-ba", "Warba", "Wayisjelequeyele", "Ligda Remba", "Doro Magni", and "Super Bar Konon Mousso". Â© 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Julia Sarr & Patrice Larose-Set Luna.

By Christopher Loudon

If you need proof that friction leads to flame, look no further than the blazing union of Senegalese-French mezzo-soprano Julia Starr and flamenco-inspired guitarist Patrice Larose. Working backward along the path followed by most emerging artists, Sarr and Larose made one of their earliest combined appearances at Carnegie Hall, as a cornerstone of Youssou N’Dour’s October 2005 celebration of “The Fresh Face of African Music.†Now Starr, performing in her native Wolof, and Larose have made their individual and shared recording debut with an album that replicates the raw, uninhibited energy of their live shows.

The ability of each to fire the other’s imagination (as cowriters and intertwined musical forces) is laid bare in a dozen different ways, from the warm, familial embrace of “Nimala Djuré†and simmering romantic anticipation of “Yow Laï Xar†to the sanity-testing blast of “Yobuma.†But their shared heat reaches maximum intensity when fueled by N’Dour as he lends his voice to the deeply introspective title track. The lyric talks of the invisibility that ensues when one moves from the familiar to the foreign—a heartfelt yet ironic sentiment for such skilled musical cross-culturists.-Jazztimes.

Someone might've put this link up already, but in any case, its Songline's top 50 world music albums from the last 5 years.

 

Looks like Spotify's gonna get a hammering this week...

 

http://www.songlines.co.uk/world-music-news/2015/08/the-50-greatest-world-music-albums-of-the-last-five-years

I have three of those albums, Toumani & Sidiki, The Gloaming and Robert Plant - Lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar (actually haven't got around to playing that one yet).

I've failed miserably.Not one of those albums do I possess,BUT I had my Readers Profile published in Songlines about 4 issues back. . I obviously need to buy more music.
