Free Music Review: Lost it and bought it again
Hit: 5 Stars
I had this CD and some one or some how it was lost and found by someone else. I loved it so much that I bought it again. This is a beautiful up lifting CD that should be played on Sunday morning as you make a pancake breakfast for your family. The angelic and up beat rhythm of traditional African music can be felt from the floor to your feet. I saw him in Sant Cruz, CA in 2003 and he was just as good live as he was on the CD. His band is made up of a remarkable group of players who in there own ways are just as refined and elegant as Habib.
Baro Poster
Now with his third album, Habib Koit? has grown into a real triple threat. Not only is he a superb songwriter and singer, he's also a trained guitarist of remarkable style and invention, whose playing inspiration comes from native instruments, such as the harp-like kora--he often imitates its rippling runs--or the lute-like n'goni. Koit? is very rooted, both in his own playing and that of his band, Bamada, but the structure and harmonies of his songs are readily accessible to Western audiences, a move away from the more bluesy idioms of, say, Boubacar Traore. Add to that a lilting, seductive voice, and Koit? basically has all the goods in one package. At the same time, this is no compromise album in search of stardom in the West. This is very much the real Mali deal, as is apparent in the last few cuts, when the band switches to a more Wassoulou approach (from the south of the country, and typified by singers like Oumou Sangare), with its harsher, drier tone. But by then you've been won over. Koit? is, without doubt, a major talent, and this record could well be his breakthrough to the big time. He's paid his dues and earned his status. The man is a star. --Chris NicksonInternational Music CDs
