Our Take

ANANSY CISSE Anoura Review:

Fresh off the dusty roads of Mali comes Anansy Cisse's latest offering, Anoura. This album is a vibrant mosaic of traditional African rhythms and modern sensibilities, all wrapped up in Cisse's infectious energy. From the moment you hit play, you'll find yourself swept up in a whirlwind of guitar riffs, pulsating drums, and Cisse's soulful vocals.

Tracks like "Sekou Amadou" and "Nia Mousso" showcase Cisse's virtuosity on the guitar, as he effortlessly blends intricate melodies with electrifying solos. Meanwhile, songs like "Beregna" and "Sigi" tap into Cisse's lyrical prowess, exploring themes of love, loss, and perseverance.

But what sets Anoura apart from other albums in the Afrobeat genre is Cisse's willingness to experiment. Tracks like "Djorolen" and "Fawdho" push the boundaries of traditional Malian music, incorporating elements of funk, jazz, and even a touch of reggae.

In a time when so much music feels manufactured and uninspired, Anoura serves as a reminder of the power of passion and authenticity. Cisse's music is not just a sound, it's a feeling - a feeling that will leave you dancing, smiling, and yearning for more. So grab your dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and let Anoura transport you to a world where the music never stops and the joy never fades.
