Episode #3213
New Music from West Africa
Wednesday, June 08, 2011
For this New Sounds, hear some loping Tamashek guitar music from the brand new record, "Aratan N Azawad" by the North Malian band, Terakaft, and some new music from the South Malian Vieux Farka Touré, with his father, Ali Farka Toure. Then take a listen to some jazzy big band music from Volker Goetze, featuring Ablaye Cissoko on kora.
Also, we’ll hear from the first non-cassette recording of Group Doueh, “Zayna Jumma,” playing in its electric glory along with some Malian trance blues-rock from Sorry Bamba. Plus, a new recording from Senegalese Sufi musician Cheikh Lo. His new record, “Jamm” translates from Wolof as “Peace.” And more.
