photo by Morgen Schuler ( view set ) The latest album from Malian songwriter and guitarist Sidi Touré , released in the US by Thrill Jockey , is called Koïma , named for a dune near his home city of Gao. "Koïma" can be translated to mean "go hear", and the dune, which sits at the edge of the Niger River, is said to be a sacred meeting place for the most powerful wizards of the world. As a songwriter, Sidi blends the traditional Songhaï music of his country with Western [...]

To tell the truth, I haven't had a ton of time to listen to as much music as I would like it 2012, but these are the songs that stuck out. They're not in much of a particular order, but they all are awesome! 20. Bahamas: "I Got You Babe" BAHAMAS - I Got You [...]
by Andrew Sacher Sidi Touré , born in 1959 in the ancient town of Gao, Mali, made his first guitar as a child, constructing it from his wooden writing slate. Growing up, Sidi Touré faced a conflict between the inexorable pull of music and the expectations of family and society, plus the significance and onus of a past that came with being born into a noble family. The Touré family had been sung about, and sung to, by traditional griots for centuries, but until Sidi Touré challenged the [...]
Not sure if anyone's noticed, but we've been slacking a bit lately. No Roundup on Sunday, for instance. It's crazy at Dig HQ so posting is unfortunately more sporadic than we'd like. I'm going to share some quick hits as best I can until things calm back down to at least give you all something to enjoy in the mean time. Click on for a pair of sweet tunes.
To celebrate today’s crop of releases, here are new mp3s from Coke Weed, Long Distance Runners, Lushlife, Maps & Atlases, Moonface, Sleepy Sun, Sidi Touré and Emily Wells. Also, vote for your favorite of today’s new releases.
So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band or a show preview or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we throw a change-up... strike that - let’s call it a round up. Most of these videos are of bands we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won’t be telling you much about those bands themselves, just some musings that really aren’t worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a million. Hold on to your hats! [...]
[The Lookahead is a monthly segment where we get to be all newsy and point out cool stuff going down in the next 30 days or so. We'll have cool Pittsburgh music shows and events, local album releases, and some national releases of interest. This is the good stuff we've heard about. Come back on the 1st of each month for more!] Earlier today, we shared some upcoming Pittsburgh events and releases, and now it's time for part two: all the [...]
Spring is here, and so is the spring release schedule. Rejoice! May and June are both shaping up to be excellent months as far as album releases go, and while April doesn't have quite the same volume of goodness, there's still going to be plenty of good music to hear over the next four weeks. We've pored over the schedule to select the ten records we reckon are going to be worth hearing — there's everything from the return of Orbital and Spiritualized to Malian songhaï blues, spooky pop music, and punishing, nasty hip hop. We'd love to know what [...]

The music of northern Mali is best known to Westerners through the dusty, dreamy jams of great guitar master Ali Farka Touré. But with Touré's passing in 2006, it's past time to look for new talent from this corner of the world. Released by Thrill Jockey, Koïma is the second album issued in the U.S. [...]

Thrill Jockey Records is proud to present Koïma, the second full-length album by Malian songwriter and guitarist Sidi Touré. Sidi’s music comes from Gao, a city in the north of Mali, and draws inspiration from traditional music and religion, but is informed by western blues, rock, and culture. The winner of two Malian national awards for best singer, Sidi was leader of Gao’s regional orchestra, The Songhaï Stars, and is a nationally renowned figure in his home country. In 2011, Sidi released Sahel Folk, his debut album for Thrill Jockey, and toured North America for the first time. This tour [...]
Sidi Touré, with Tom Moran & Rich Ermlick / Thunderbird Café / 09.10.2011 / 9:00 / $12-$15 Words by Brendan I had never heard of Sidi Touré until a couple of weeks ago when I got an email about this show from a PR agent. I get a lot of those emails, and I can't read them all too carefully, but the following sentence describing the recording style for Sidi 's latest album caught my attention: "On the first day they would meet, play and [...]

Malian singer & guitarist, Sidi Touré, is receiving rave reviews for his debut Thrill Jockey release, Sahel Folk, including being prominently featured in this past Sunday’s New York Times article on independent record labels’ embracing and exploring African sounds. Released last week, Sahel Folk features duets between Sidi and one friend chronicled in a live [...]
Sidi Touré's debut for Thrill Jockey is an expansive record, one that works itself from the inside out. Touré's guitar playing is masterful, the kind of stuff Dave Longstreth grew up on. With pieces of work such as Sahel Folk, I hate to listen to individual tracks. The record seems to make sense only as [...]
This week's Best New Releases includes new singles from new LPs and EPs from bands all across the indie spectrum.
