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 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. [...]

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 [...]

Und stetig weht weiter traditionelle Musik aus Westafrika zu uns rüber: Mit Sidi Touré hat nun auch Thrill Jockey den Mali-Blues im Portfolio. Ganz egal ob man Ali Farka Touré - dem 2006 verstorbenen Bluesman of Africa - oder dem Desert Rock von Terakaft lauscht, Gitarren aus Mali legen sich wie Balsam auf westliche Ohren. Ob akustisch oder elektrisch, sanft schaukelnd oder mit einer repetitiven Portion Drive, eine malisch angehauchte Gitarre strahlt eine Gelassenheit aus, die man sich gerne für [...]

Sidi Touré, músico do Mali, é apontado frequentemente como o sucessor do mestre Ali Farka Touré, senhor de uma mestria na guitarra aliado a um minimalismo melódico que surpreende o ouvinte mais atento. Apesar da não aprovação por parte da sua família (Touré é descendente de uma família nobre do Mali), Sidi tem angariado reputação pelo mundo fora. Brevemente será editado um novo registo, Sahel Folk, do qual podemos apreciar aqui uma breve amostra. Sidi Touré - "Artiatanat" with Yehiya Arby from Thrill Jockey Records on [...]
SIDI TOURÉ RELEASES NEW SONG, "BON KOUM," OFF SAHEL FOLK, OUT JANUARY 25TH! NEW DEAL WITH MONDO MUNDO, WORLD-CLASS BOOKING AGENCY, MEANS U.S. DATES SOON TO FOLLOW! "After a few listens of Sahel Folk my affection for Mali grew even more . . . Performing a very loose, refined style called songhaï blues, the repetitious nature of his guitar quickly leaves one entranced . . . With a surge of African artists making their presence known in modern America, expect Sidi to soon catapult into that list." -Derek Beres, The Huffington Post It looks [...]

Filed under: Around the World Is Bamako the new Brooklyn? Garifuna the new grunge? Front-porch sessions in Rwanda the new hipster hangout?
