Free Music Review: Another One for Your Collection
Hit: 5 Stars
I started into world music a couple years ago and I am still finding gems and this is one of them. Perhaps a new discovery for me but apparently this husband and wife team have been rocking Mali and West Africa already for decades and their fame has since spread to Helsinki, Paris, and the UK.
There's a full hour of songs on this CD sung in French, Bambara and Dogon and almost every one is fun to dance to thanks to the R&B influence mixed in with Malian beats. The melodies are simple yet embellished, the guitar riffs cool, their voices compliment and they could sing in any language and still sound good.
A totally down-to-earth style so many are finding enjoyable. - Madonna can crucify herself on stage all she wants but I'd still rather listen to Amadou and Mariam.
Je Pense a Toi: The Best of Amadou et Mariam Poster
There is no question that Amadou and Mariam's Dimanche A Bamako is one of the best albums of 2005--African, American or otherwise. But whereas that effort was a collaboration with Manu Chao, which means it has his production fingerprints all over it, Je Pense A Toi is actually a better representation of the African-blues-pop-rock this Malian couple plays. Culled from albums issued between 1998 and 2002 (two on small indie label Circular Moves, one is an import), this 13-song collection is all killer and no filler. Fans of Dimanche already know how powerful Amado'?s guitar playing is, but here he blasts songs like "Je Pense a Toi" and "Les Temps Ont Change" into the stratosphere with driving leads. Mariam's best singing contributions are here in the form of "A Radio Mogo" and "Djagneba." While all three albums are still available, this is a fantastic option for those not willing to wade so deep. ? --Tad HendricksonSimply put - Amadou et Mariam is THE story for 2005 in World music. After 30 years together, the duo has finally found the success they so richly deserve. Je Pense ? Toi is a stellar collection of the duo's best songs up to the present. As more and more music fans discover Amadou & Mariam, this album is destined to become a best-seller in their catalog.
