Our Take

The latest compilation album, "Ears Of The People: Ekonting Songs From Senegal And The Gambia," is a delightful journey through the rich musical traditions of West Africa. Various artists come together to showcase the unique sounds of the ekonting, a long-necked lute that produces a mesmerizing twang.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to the bustling streets of Dakar or the serene villages of Banjul. The infectious rhythms and soulful melodies are guaranteed to get your hips swaying and your feet tapping. Tracks like "Kassa" by Samba Diaband, and "Bango Tadi" by Sambou Suso will have you grooving for hours on end.

The compilation seamlessly blends traditional African sounds with modern production techniques, creating a refreshing and contemporary take on the genre. The fusion of old and new is executed with finesse, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and innovative.

While some tracks may be more experimental than others, the overall cohesion of the album is undeniable. Each song complements the next, creating a cohesive listening experience that will leave you craving more.

In conclusion, "Ears Of The People" is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their sonic horizons. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare to be taken on a musical journey through the vibrant streets of Senegal and The Gambia. Trust me, you won't regret it.
