Wati (2003) more music like this

by Amadou & Mariam

If you think Mali is all about the kora or the Super Rail Band, you need to take a listen to Amadou & Mariam, a blind married couple who take Malian music in a whole different direction. They keep to the bluesy, pentatonic root that's the heart of the desert sound of Mali, but bring it toward the West, even letting guitars howl here and there and ...

Mali to Memphis: An African-American Odyssey (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Mali to Memphis: An African-American Odyssey purports to show the cultural connection of West African music and American blues by example. In this, the compilation is fairly successful. On listening to the opening track, "Mon Amour, Mon Cherie," by Amadou & Mariam, you immediately make a mental connection to the CD's last track, Taj Mahal's ...

Tje Ni Mousso (2000) more music like this

by Amadou & Mariam

Vintage organ, horns, and funk backbeats give this Malian husband and wife's second U.S. release a different feel than their stateside debut. Still, it's Amadou's slithering guitar leads and Mariam's soaring voice that all but steal the show from the couple's wildly talented band. This is a world music album in the most expansive of senses, ...

Dimanche a Bamako (2005) more music like this

by Amadou & Mariam

Amadou & Mariam, the blind couple from Mali, have certainly paid their dues over the last 30 years, and it's about time they received their big break. Certainly given the excellent reviews in Europe, Dimanche a Bamako could be it, thanks to the production and participation by the elf prince of world music, Manu Chao. He brings a playful lightness ...

Sou Ni Tile (1999) more music like this

by Amadou & Mariam

Mali's Amadou & Mariam sing in three African languages and French but more importantly are fluent in a musical language that often transcends ordinary speech. Polyrhythmic percussion, complex vocal harmonies, and fluid guitar, violin, and horn lines -- as well as the occasional harmonica -- are combined to create earthy songs that are more given ...

Security [Japan Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this

by Antibalas

Antibalas established themselves in the late 1990s as a burning, tough, horn, bass and drum driven Afrobeat ensemble cut from the Fela Kuti mold, who were politically savvy and socially conscious. Their live shows have been incendiary events where rhythm and perspiration from completely crazy, booty-shaking audience members shared something deeper ...

Government Magic (2006)

by Antibalas

For the third studio CD from Antibalas, the big band continues to tread the path of their hero Fela Anikulapo Kuti, providing the exciting Nigerian Afro-beat sound accented by searing saxophone solos, electric keyboard chords, dancing and driving funky percussive rhythms, vocal shout choruses, political speak ups, and the fun, joyous music that ...
