Filed under: Around the World Like many artists who have explored and embraced music from across cultures, guitarist Lionel Loueke is wary about bringing exotic, unfamiliar sounds to mainstream audiences. Of course, in his case the audience in question is in Benin, where Loueke was born and raised. And the sounds are those of the modern jazz he embraced as a music student in Paris in the mid-'90s and has personalized in the decade since moving to the U.S. to study at the Berklee College of Music [...]
mp3 Clip 1 mp3 Clip 2 This is not the newest release (2008), but we wanted to share it with you on the first sunny morning in awhile. Aside from the excellent Underwater Peoples Records' compilation, this collection of Congolese artist Franco's music should be a staple of your summer listening. Francophonic amasses Franco's work from 1953-1980, with the earlier years featuring breezy African melodies in the form of shorter melodic, pop nuggets, while the later years find Franco and [...]
Tabu Ley Rochereau "Kelya" - mp3 Thanks to Cem for turning us on to this gem of a record from African vocalist Tabu Ley Rochereau . Released earlier this year, the double disc Voice of Lightness (Stern's Africa) spans Rochereau's career and touches all the major high marks. On the back of similar African records we've been loving this year, (Nigeria Special, Orchestra Baobab, Nigeria 70, Tinariwen etc...) Voice of Lightness may take the cake as one of the best we've come across. More info below... "The Tabu Ley set is [...]
Though they haven't been widespread, there was rumor over the last week as to the condition of Tabu Ley Rochereau, the Congolese singer and band leader who is one of the absolute great pop talents of the last 50 years. (If you need convincing, go straight to Sterns Music's The Voice of Lightness: Congo Classics 1961-1977 . It's the album I have put on for pleasure more than almost any other in the past 12 months.) A few days ago, Ken Braun of Sterns Music emailed that he'd gotten indirect word from a former bandmate [...]

Hermas Zopoula: "Dsa Wissi Dounia Gnou" [Listening Station]
I'd like to give some credit to Sufjan Stevens' home label Asthmatic Kitty for expanding its sonic palate lately, what with signings like Rafter and Fol Chen. Perhaps the most interesting addition to the label's roster is Hermas Zopoula , a singer/songwriter from Burkina Faso . He is the youngest of 36 (!) children and works as a translator at the Ouagadougou international airport. His debut Espoir / Live in Ouagadougou is a double album; the first section, Espoir [...]

The Voice of Lightness
Another disc that arrived in the Stern's package the other day was one I've been meaning to buy for a few months: Ken Braun's compilation of Tabu Ley Rochereau's music, The Voice of Lightness. It's even better than I anticipated. Tabu Ley Rochereau was born Pascal Emmanuel Sinamoyi Tabou in Belgian Congo in 1940. [...]
