Our Take

Afrocubism, the long-awaited collaboration between Cuban and Malian musicians, is a joyous celebration of two cultures coming together in perfect harmony. From the infectious rhythms of 'Jarabi' to the hypnotic melodies of 'Al Vaivén de Mi Carreta', this album is a vibrant tapestry of sounds that will transport you to a world where boundaries disappear and music reigns supreme.

The musicianship on display here is nothing short of exceptional, with each member of the ensemble bringing their own unique flair to the table. Guitarist Eliades Ochoa shines on tracks like 'La Culebra', his nimble fingers dancing across the strings with effortless grace. Meanwhile, kora player Toumani Diabaté adds a soulful touch to songs like 'Karamo', his instrument weaving a spellbinding spell that is impossible to resist.

But what really sets Afrocubism apart is its sense of joy and spontaneity. The musicians clearly had a blast recording this album, and their passion and energy shine through on every track. Whether you're tapping your feet to the infectious beats of 'Benséma' or losing yourself in the swirling melodies of 'Nima Diyala', this is music that demands to be heard.

In conclusion, Afrocubism is a triumph of collaboration and creativity, a testament to the power of music to transcend borders and bring people together. So crank up the volume, grab a mojito, and let yourself be swept away by the sounds of Cuba and Mali intertwining in perfect harmony. This is an album that deserves to be treasured and enjoyed for years to come. Cheers to that!
