Free Music Review: Get in the (African) Groove!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of Putumayo's best Groove compilations (other than Brazilian&Arabic).It's a great introduction to African techno music,danceable and accessible.
Highlights-
1)Saye Mogo Bana-I wonder why Putumayo borrows from Six Degrees,the purveyor of great world techno albums.Putumayo excels at acoustic.Still,this is a wonderful track from Issa Bagayogo that blends traditional Malian music with contemporary dance.
2)Mokote-Madeka is a delightful singer,no wonder she is compared with Angelique Kidjo.
3)Kalicom-Intensely rhythmical and beautiful.Very haunting.
4)Wouyouma-Inspiring Senegalese rap.Very different from the awful hip-hop here that glorifies violence&drugs.Positive Black Soul is TRULY positive!
5)Lagos Communique-A great from the Thievery Corporation.
6)One for Senegal-Wodnerful tribute to Toure Kunda.
7)Mofolo Hall-Very jazzy instrumental.
This album is for anyone who enjoys African music!This is definitely Afropop!
African Groove Poster
Putumayo World Music continues its exploration of new directions in world music withAfrican Groove, a collection of cutting-edge African music that highlights the ways modern styles have fused with African traditions. African Groove features musicians from Africa who experiment with hip-hop, remixing and electronic programming as well as international electronica artists who have used the rhythms and styles of Africa as inspiration for trend- setting club music.Part of the successful Putumayo Grooves series, African Groove, follows in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed, best-selling Putumayo albums Arabic Groove, Latin Groove and Asian Groove.This ain?t your daddy?s Afrobeat, but a prime sampler of cutting-edge urban dance grooves by African artists. Of course, most non-classical Western styles can trace their essence to the continent anyway. But now, as American and European pop saturate the world?s airwaves and the internet is omnipresent, enthusiastic cross-pollination in the opposite direction has also become commonplace. Ancient tribal traditions are colliding--and colluding--with hip-hop, funk, reggae, and electronica, incorporating every imaginable sound-manipulation technology with compulsively danceable results. The set opens with a spine-loosening, mid-tempo floor-warmer by Mali?s techno Issa Bagayogo, and progresses through a small universe where synth patches, wah-wahs, programmed beats, and manipulated voices coexist with talking drums, balafons, and hypnotic tribal chants. Musicians from Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Senegal, and South Africa are all heard from, and the beauty of these tracks is in how their birthrights somehow emerge transformed, but triumphantly unadulterated. -- Christina Roden
