Free Music Notes for Foly! Live Around the World
Free Music Review: How good is music?
Hit: 5 Stars
For me it's hard to be objective (not that that's really the point) after hearing these guys live. I first heard them in 97 at the New Orleans Jazz Fest having no idea who they were and was completely blown away. I've never been less than thrilled hearing them subsequently. Fortunately they've played Minneapolis/St. Paul several times in the last few years and I've heard them all. This is one of the great live bands on earth and this recording is testament to that. I'm hard pressed to think of any CDs I've listened to more in the last couple of years than this. My friend and I have bootlegged the Habib shows we've gone to and I love listening to those recordings, but this recording is the best of a whole tour and is consistently great. This is the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East or Monk/Trane at Carnegie Hall of African music. This band is so tight, so versatile and the songs are a beautiful array of an ancient/modern blend of Malian music.
I love live music, go to tons of shows and tend towards jazz these days, but I'm hard pressed to think of anybody I'd go hear rather than this band on a particular night if given the choice and this recording captures as well as recording can why that is.
Foly! Live Around the World Poster
Those who've experienced Habib Koit? & Bamada will recall a hot set with the energetic leader playing to the crowd and his own musicians. Recording three studio albums since 1995, the singer/guitarist now returns with a live double-disc collection recorded during a 2002 European tour. There are no unreleased songs included, but Koit? and his crack band take many of these tunes past the 10-minute mark, displaying a loose live chemistry that is dazzling, particularly on the 16-minute "Kunfeta," where each band member is introduced. Incorporating a breadth of Malian musical traditions, the group's sound emphasizes Koit?'s acoustic guitar, percussion (particularly K?l?tigui Diabat?'s balafon playing), and vocals. These are intricately woven together into a shimmying West African groove. Leaving the fireworks to fellow musicians and his own guitar work, Koit?'s voice is understated by Malian standards, simmering with wistful emotion. This is truly a fine document of the great group's transcendent live shows. --Tad HendricksonInternational Music CDs
