Free Music Notes for Putumayo Presents: Mali

Free Music Review: An impressive West African journey
Hit: 5 Stars

"Mali",like "South Pacific Islands",has a music video,a recipe,AND,most importantly,great music!

Highlights-
1)Maninda-A song about a storyteller.The mbira (thumb piano)keeps this song dynamic.
2)Ouili Ka Bo-I'm not a big blues fan.But this is a pwerful little song,with harmonica accompaniment no less!
3)Amassakoul 'N'Tenere-Tinariwen sing a form of West African blues that's so infectious you want to sing along.I was enchanted the first time I heard them on the radio.
4)Koulandian-A wonderful instrumental duet between guitarist/singer Habib Koite&balafon (xylophone) player Keletigui Diabate.Sometimes,words aren't necessary.
5)Kanou-A song that blends a Bollywood sensibility with Mali blues.Very uplifting.
6)Bana-An exclusive track from the Afro-techno master,Issa Bagayogo!As to be expected,it's great.Still,I wonder why Putumayo sometimes borrows from Six Degrees Records.Six Degrees Records distinguishes itself with its world techno dance music artists/compilations.Putumayo is expert with acoustic music.It's good that Putumayo is getting the music out with Issa Bagayogo not only on this CD but on its other great African compilation "African Groove."
7)Saramaya-A powerful live performance from Habib Koite.You'll understand why the crowd is cheering!

It's great to see Putumayo is encouraging people to explore Malian music.This is a good start.

Putumayo Presents: Mali Poster

"A lot of people believe Mali will be the next Cuba," says Putumayo VP of A&R Jacob Edgar, reflecting on the potential of Mali?s music to crossover to a wider audience. "The music is otherworldly and familiar at the same time, and the artists have really interesting stories."

One of the most striking things about Putumayo Presents Mali is the diversity of artists represented. Ramatou Diakité comes from the fields of the bluesy Wassoulou region of southern Mali. Tinariwen is a Kel Temeshek or Tuareg band, whose trancey Sahara desert blues served as the musical soundtrack to a fierce fight against discrimination. Habib Koité originates from the Bambara tribe and is known for integrating a diversity of Malian styles into his repertoire. Habib is signed to Putumayo and has released two successful albums, Ma Ya and Baro on the label. A live track and an enhancement featuring a live concert performance by Habib are highlights of the collection.

The Mali album also features legends that didn?t gain recognition until later in life. Idrissa Soumaoro didn?t record his first album until age 55. When he was young, Soumaoro played in Les Ambassadeurs alongside legends Salif Keïta and Kante Manfila. Often seen on stage with Habib Koité, Kélétigui Diabaté is a legendary figure in Malian music and one of the foremost balafón (xylophone) players in Africa. Boubacar Traoré was once heard daily on national radio in Mali, but disappeared into obscurity after his wife passed away.

Mali features a Malian recipe for Tiguadégé Na (meat in peanut sauce) and colorful photos from the Lonely Planet book series. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this CD will be donated to Oxfam America in support of their development efforts in Mali.
