Damon Albarn/Afel Bocoum/Toumani Diabaté/Mali Music
Brilliant collaboration beween Damon Albarn (leader of Blur who I listened to the other day) and several Malian Muscisians.
Most of it is “found” recordings with additional studio enhancements. While far from sounding “live” Albarn lets it breathe without too much interference.
A superb and enchanting record.

commentsIn this session, we sought out to prove that the fairer sex can still make a racket with six strings, that music isn’t dead (it just smells funny) and that some of the most interesting artists ignore the rule book.
