Our Take

Rokia Traore's latest album, Tchamantchin, is a mesmerizing blend of traditional Malian rhythms and contemporary, genre-bending sounds. Traore, known for her soulful voice and masterful guitar playing, takes listeners on a musical journey that is both enchanting and thought-provoking.

From the haunting opener "Laidu" to the upbeat groove of "Zen," Traore effortlessly weaves together elements of blues, jazz, and traditional African music to create a sound that is uniquely her own. The album's production is top-notch, with lush instrumentation and crisp, clean vocals that transport the listener to a world of beauty and wonder.

The standout track on Tchamantchin is undoubtedly "Ka Moun Ke," a moving ballad that showcases Traore's vocal range and emotional depth. The lyrics, sung in Traore's native Bambara language, explore themes of love, loss, and resilience, resonating with listeners on a deep, soul-stirring level.

Overall, Tchamantchin is a triumph for Traore, demonstrating her growth as an artist and her ability to push boundaries while staying true to her roots. This album is a must-listen for fans of world music, as well as anyone looking for music that is both uplifting and thought-provoking. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
