A revista Forbes, que também tem um apreço especial (doentio, talvez) pela produção de listas, convidou os seus leitores a escolherem as 40 celebridades mais poderosas de África. A lista está compilada e pode ser consultada em detalhe neste sítio, com fotografias e biografias curtas de cada um dos eleitos.

#What? Dougou Badia (single) #Who? Amadou & Mariam feat. Santigold . The couple from Mali were joined by queen of crazy tribal pop for one of the many collaborations on A&M's forthcoming album Folila, out March 26. #Fact/ Amadou & Mariam might be the most successful African musicians at the moment. If you've never listened to their soulful and beautiful music, well you should. [...]

There's something philosophically profound about Sabali . Miike Snow remix of the Malian Afro-Blues duo Amadou & Mariam pours warmth and hope into my heart whenever I listen to it. Even though the remix doesn't differ much from the original, it manages to augment the overall joyousness of the tune with echoey vocals and soft synth arpeggios. The second bonus of the day, Je pense à toi on the other hand is a poignant love cry, the most common theme in any form of art: a solid declaration of love. [...]

Hey everyone Just got my Internet back, and the first thing I did was downloading that dope remix of The White Stripes (rip, one of my favorite band ever...). Many, way too many, people tried to remix / cover Seven Nation Army for one obvious reason, you can be as bad as the lovechild of Guetta and Aoki, you'll do something that's not too bad, because the original song is one of the greatest ever made. [...]
It was strange time to be away at a music festival. We left London the morning after an election under one PM and pretty much returned under another. For the the several thousand people at Butlins in Minehead, Matt Groening was our de facto leader during this interregnum (or, for Daily Mail readers, during this [...]

Get Flavor , a brand new label out of France, has finally released their first bit of goodness! Their first release is a touch of Kuduro (see Buraka Som Sistema ) flavored party tracks from producer/DJ Dakunt . This K-Danca EP isn't just more faceless tourist music, it's well-polished, full on party tunes. With recommendations from the likes of Sam Tiba, Canblaster, Richi Romero, Raziek, and Zombie Disco Squad, "K-Danca" is something to get excited about. Get Flavor were already kind enough to break us off with a bunch of promo mp3s, but be sure to [...]
31. TINARIWEN @ SÃO JORGE5 de Julho de 2007Escrevi, na altura: "O António Pires chama-lhe a 'maior banda rock do mundo'. Entende-se perfeitamente o exagero e quase se toma por verdade absoluta o epíteto. É que daquelas três guitarras nas mãos dos Tinariwen brota energia que rebentaria com dezenas e dezenas de festivais de rock. Embora a guitarra eléctrica não fosse um instrumento comum entre os

this bullion remix effort for amadou & mariam's damon albarn assisted 'Ce N'est Pas Bon ' deserves a lot more talk than it has got. certainly in the circles i rotate in anyway. Maybe I missed the buzz. Maybe I'm going to single handedly kickstart it. Listen to it at One Handed Music's soundcloud. .

This adventure began, in the troupe of the institute for young blind people. Where Amadou met Mariam, his true love. If he can't see her, he can say nothing, know nothing, and so he asks her not to abandon him. (from one of their CD jackets) I've been in love with Amadou et Mariam ever since I first heard them, and every new track is like a magical gem. I recently came across this remix of Ce N'est Pas Bon, and I absolutely love it, and I'm sure you will too. [...]

Amadou & Mariam - Sabali "Je te fais un gros bisou, je t'embrasse fort"

Amadou & Mariam : Senegal Fast Food [ purchase ] After starting the week with three square meals, I thought we could all use a snack. "Senegal Fast Food" fits our theme because of its title. The song is mostly in French, with a few lines in Amadou and Mariam's native language, Bamako. So I have no idea what the song is about. I did find a bad translation, posted by a fan who apparently spoke English as a second or third language, but I really couldn't make sense [...]

Al Green - "Gotta Find a New World" via passion of the weiss "Gotta Find a New World" is from one of Al Green 's earliest albums, Green Is Blues (1969). The track's about 2 minutes long with a 30-second spoken word intro, making its real length just a short minute and a half. Yes, the guy mixing the album was clearly a fool. Fading out a great song like this after only 1.5 minutes is practically criminal . [...]
I had to make one of my occasional visits to the surreal landscapes of London's Docklands this week, with its towering shards of metal and glass rising directly from pools of grey water. It felt somewhat quieter and less frantic than usual; no-one was paying any attention to the scrolling share prices wrapped around [...]
