Acclaimed Malian singer joins Boddhi Satva to record ‘Ngnari Konon’ in Bamako ‘Ngnari Konon’ is the new single from Boddhi Satva ’s debut album Invocation, featuring Grammy award winning singer Oumou Sangaré and produced by Louie Vega. Originally from the Central African Republic, Boddhi Satva began recording Invocation in Bamako in September 2012, at a time when rebel forces had already occupied much of Mali’s Northern territory. On Mali and its rich musical heritage, Boddhi remarked: ‘Mali remains an amazing country and we shall not allow [...]

Eis a lista mais habitual no fim do ano para quem vem regularmente botar a vista no blogue amarelo. Não tanto pela crise (felizmente), mas antes pelo excesso de trabalho (felizmente) e por outras responsabilidades (felizmente), este foi ano de contenção no que à presença em salas de concertos diz respeito. Ao total, e se não houver mais nada até à próxima passagem de ano, foram pouco mais de 100
Big thanks to John Lurie for turning me on to this magical bit of music, "Yala" by Oumou Sangaré.
Regressado a Lisboa para uma breve escala antes de mais uma semana de férias, deixo aqui algumas das memórias a reter em mais um FMM que terminou. Talvez por desígnio do circuito de digressões dos grupos, este foi um FMM com lanças apontadas especialmente a África: A Oumou e o Béla Béla Fleck toca no banjo, acústico ou elétrico, como mais ninguém, aqui intrometendo-se na música do Mali e

Primeiro, uma pequena historieta. Andava eu, aqui há meses, pelas ruas frias de Riga, quando vejo cartazes para um espetáculo a acontecer em breve com o mítico trompetista sul-africano Hugh Masekela, sucesso nos meios do jazz norte-americano, músico de Bob Marley nos seus primeiros discos, figura incontornável do afrobeat ao lado de Fela Kuti, companheiro de estrada de Paul Simon durante a
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. Em 40 posições, cinco pertencem a escritores (com destaque para o primeiro lugar do
Fatoumata Diawara (aka Fatou) was born of Malian parents in the Ivory Coast in 1982. As a child she became a member of her father’s dance troupe and was a popular performer of the wildly flailing didadi dance from Wassoulou, her ancestral home in western Mali. She was an energetic and headstrong girl and at the age of twelve her refusal to go to school finally prompted her parents to send her to live and be disciplined by an aunt in Bamako. She was not to see her parents again for over a decade. [...]
The Very Best are a deliciously odd trio. The band formed more than four years ago, after DJ Gods Johan Karlberg and Etienne Tron of Radioclit met Esau Mwamwaya after buying a bike at Mwamwaya's used furniture/junk store in East London. In 2008, the group released a mixtape, Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit are the Very [...]
Ninguém devia deixar escapar esta oportunidade de rever uma das maiores vozes do Mali (e eu coço-me todo ao saber que, por motivos que não vêm ao caso, o terei de fazer.) Oumou Sangaré, 41 anos, vai estar amanhã, sábado, no CCB, a apresentar o seu novo álbum, "Seya". O espectáculo tem início marcado para as 21h e os preços variam entre os 18€ e os 35€.
At my first night in Marrakesh, at the riad where I stayed, an album was played. This song was on it. The album had been put together from a variety of sources by my hosts, the owners of the riad. I loved this at first hearing. Oumou Sangare, from Mali, "is the leading female star of the Wassoulou sound which is based on an ancient tradition of hunting rituals mixed with songs about devotion, praise, and harvest played with pentatonic (five-note) melodies. Wassoulou is typified by a strong Arabic feel along with the sound of the scraping karinyang, [...]
Filed under: Around the World A big world-music fan had a frustrating shopping experience recently in Los Angeles. "I was at Amoeba Records looking for the new Baaba Maal album that I saw in London two months ago, and it's not there," he says. It's not Amoeba's fault. The store has perhaps the largest, most varied selection of international CDs in the region, if not the nation. The Senegalese star's album just hasn't been released in the U.S. yet. On the [...]

This month has brought a flood of new music. Maybe it's the summer-release thing, but that makes it doubly difficult to properly weigh all the contenders for the chart. A number of CDs were close to making it onto the list but arrived late, didn't receive a rousing response to airplay, or just seemed to want to season for a bit longer before being judged. This is a tremendously strong group of albums, any of which I would recommend to the adventurous listener. Holding on from June are Moana & the Tribe, [...]
Filed under: Around the World Rural northeastern Vermont and a 'Seinfeld' gag may be pretty foreign concepts to a bunch of kids at a school in Conakry, Guinea -- a mix of locals and refugees from both strife-torn Sierra Leone and Liberia. But they're going to be connected at a core level this coming weekend. The Festivus music and culture festival -- named, of course, for the 'Seinfeld' creation, "a holiday for the rest of us," that has become a surprisingly persistent pop culture phenom replete with its [...]
Today we'll be joining the Malian kora master Toumani Diabaté for a concert in Istanbul. A bit late to inform but still if you see this one and you want to hear some sacred African music, you have to make it to CRR @ 20:00 . Also featured is Malian diva Oumou Sangaré who'll be releasing her new album Seya on Nonesuch soon. Here's a taste thanks to our friends @ World Circuit . ‘Seya’ is Oumou’s first album in six years and critics have been raving about [...]
