Free Music Review: Mesmerizing beauty
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard Djam Leelii playing in the darkened room of a mellow party and was just mesmerized. Rather than spend time talking with friends I sat on the couch... and just listened. I couldn't believe the beauty I was hearing. I quickly bought a copy and listened to it constantly for years. As my tastes shifted over time I didn't listen to it as often, but it remained a perennial favorite... Discovering recently that the album had been reissued with three additional tracks I didn't hesitate to get a copy, and have to say, I'm just as in love with this beautiful music as I was the first time I heard it. About half the songs are more upbeat and 'traditional' West African, then half - those mostly with acoustic guitars and occasional (and mellow) electrics - are darker with an understated drive that's quite compelling. And all get into a marvelous easy groove, some with percussion and some without. Baaba Maal's singing is unaffected, gorgeous and heartfelt. The title track is just sublime. The three additional songs are very excellent; their recording is a bit more direct, not quite as warm, but not far from the originally released tracks. If you love acoustic guitar music of any kind, or West African music, do yourself a wonderful favor by listening to this!
