With the sun getting warmer outside I like nothing better than to take in some rays and the sounds of Africa. Not really, but I wish I had the time to explore the vast array of music that originates from that continent. Especially since in the last while we've come across (by chance rather than design) 2 wonderful talents in the Good Ones from Rwanda and now Baaba Maal from Senegal. 'Television' is supremely happy music from an artist who is huge back home, second only in popularity to Youssou N'Dour, and has a vast catalogue of albums to his [...]
Baaba Maal at Central Park Summerstage (06/15/10) Photo : Jon Klemm Baaba's lively interactions with his longtime tama (talking drum) player Massamba Diop were as dynamic and playful as ever, and veteran backing singer Mansour Seck was on hand in fine voice as well. Missing was any of Baaba's acoustic material, which generally makes an appearance even in his most high-energy shows. But tonight it was non-stop adrenaline. The highlight of the show was near the end when audience members were invited onstage to dance with [...]
Lusine I got my first listen of the new School of Seven Bells album Disconnect From Desire yesterday and it is magnificent. Then this remix magiced its way into my iTunes remix shuffle and it was like icing on the cake. Lusine plays off of SOSB's etherial spirit by scaling it back and adding some subtle tweaks and sparkles. This is a smooth smooth jam you should pop on your next chill out mix. [MP3] Half Asleep (Lusine Remix) - School Of Seven Bells [...]

Its summer time, and one of my favorite summer traditions happens to be the KCRW world fest concert series that takes place at the Hollywood Bowl. Every year KCRW curates an amazing summer concert series featuring both big name buzz bands and artist that can only be referred to as world stars. The shows [...]
Day Three – This day was difficult to get through. As much as I wanted to see Circa Survive for the 10th time, it was Norah Jones that I knew I had to catch for the first time. I've had a huge crush on the jazz-folk singer since her debut, so it was about time to see her perform. If that meant missing both Circa and one of Isis ' last performances, so be it. The other enemy of Saturday was the heat and humidity. Hitting near record high temperatures, the grounds at Bonnaroo turned [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Perhaps a music festival's biggest asset is its ability to bring musicians together, which is exactly what happened Sunday night at Los Angeles' historic Hollywood Bowl. The first of KCRW's monthly World Festival concerts, the evening was a brilliant mash-up of indie rock's hippest bands with trans-continental vigor -- Yeasayer and Fool's Gold -- and some of Africa's biggest music stars -- Tinariwen and Baaba Maal . "I met them at [...]

You know how they say spring is the time when a young man's fancy turns to love? Well, spring can go take a hike (and take winter with you). If you live in New York City, your favorite season should be summer. You know, because of the sheer amount of summer shows (many of which are free!) that are at your disposal! Since we last talked, the 2010 lineups for two of the city's biggest summer concert series, SummerStage/Rumsey Playfield and Celebrate Brooklyn (the same concerts with which we told you about last week ) [...]
The lineup for Central Park's annual SummerStage series is beginning to reveal itself, and if Pavement's four sold-out September shows don't make the 25th anniversary special enough, there is plenty more going on at New York City's Rumsey Playfield in the coming months. Bumpershine.com has discovered various confirmed and unconfirmed acts playing this summer, and beyond what we already knew, there are some gems. While not part of the SummerStage series, some noteworthy Rumsey Playfield shows coming up include the CareFusion Jazz Festival, a Meshell Ndegeocello performance at the New York LGBT Pride [...]

Television mp3 Baaba Maal Television .... buy it I've not featured much non-English language music here in the Shack and that's to your detriment, m'dears. I must admit that I do tend to be horribly ethno-centric. Thankfully my little wifey is a huge fan of what is termed, rather unappealingly, "world music" (why isn't all music from this world? ugh.) And for her, today, I will post this beautiful, gorgeous, video by Senegalese musician, Baaba Maal . It's for his second single to be released, "Dakar Moon," and features a [...]
