Our Take
Our Take
Step aside, Adele and Ed Sheeran, because the real musical magic is coming straight out of Mali. Various Artists have compiled an absolute gem with "Mali: The Art of Griots of Keli." This album is like a musical journey through the heart of West Africa, with each track serving as a vibrant tapestry of traditional Griot storytelling and infectious rhythms.
From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where ancient traditions meet modern production techniques in a harmonious blend that is nothing short of mesmerizing. The melodic kora strings, intricate percussion, and soulful vocals come together to create a sound that is both timeless and contemporary, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Mali.
Tracks like "Djadjiri" and "Satumba" will have you tapping your feet and swaying to the beat, while slower, more introspective songs like "Sutu Kokoli" and "Naja" invite you to sit back, relax, and soak in the poetic lyrics and haunting melodies. Each artist brings their own unique flair to the table, adding layers of depth and complexity to an already stunning collection of songs.
So, if you're looking to broaden your musical horizons and experience the true essence of African music, look no further than "Mali: The Art of Griots of Keli." Trust us, you'll be hitting repeat on this album for days to come. Pitchfork-approved, five-star masterpiece.
