ROKIA KONE & JACKNIFE LEE - Bamananin
Rating: 8.5
If you're in the mood for a musical journey that combines traditional Malian sounds with a contemporary twist, look no further than Rokia Kone and Jacknife Lee's collaboration on "Bamananin." This album is an absolute gem that showcases Kone's powerhouse vocals and Lee's innovative production skills.
From the opening track "Bamana" to the closing notes of "Ntulele," every song on this album is a masterpiece in its own right. Kone's emotive delivery is simply captivating, drawing listeners in with each heartfelt lyric and haunting melody. Meanwhile, Lee's production brings a fresh, modern edge to traditional Malian instrumentation, creating a sound that is both timeless and cutting-edge.
Standout tracks like "Hine" and "Mali Sadio" highlight the duo's incredible chemistry and ability to seamlessly blend their respective styles. The result is a mesmerizing listening experience that will have you hitting repeat again and again.
In a world oversaturated with cookie-cutter pop tunes, "Bamananin" stands out as a breath of fresh air. Kone and Lee have crafted an album that is as daring as it is delightful, pushing boundaries and challenging expectations with each track. Trust us, you won't want to miss this one. Highly recommended.
