Free Music Notes for Aman Iman: Water is Life
Free Music Review: Soul of The Desert
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording, by a group of Toureg musicians from Mali in North Africa, is the most refreshing music I have heard for a long time. Certainly a blues album but not from the Delta, Chicago or even North America at all ,rather from the African desert, yet there are other strong influences-the loping Arabic rhythms, hypnotic melodies,and a very "open" sound.
I cannot understand the vocals but this matters little as the music is universal and magic.The quality of the musicians and the recording engineers are first class with production techniques kept to a minimum.
If you like blues, jazz, or musicians such as Ry Cooder you will welcome this fresh sounding, unadulterated record into your collection.
Aman Iman: Water is Life Poster
When you hear this music clan -- group just doesn't seem to be the right designation for a band of nomad desert musicians/soldiers -- a listener can hear the calm of the desert night air and the serenity of the musicians who live there. The Taureg people truly seem to be of the land and never more so than here on the band's third album, Aman Iman. The loping percussion and the circular guitar lines conjure wide-open desert images evoked in the repetitive grooves. Some may grumble that the members are playing much as they did on the first and second albums, blending Arabic song structures, desert wails, and primordial blues guitar riffs, but for it to be any different would be akin to asking the people in Tinariwen to change who they are. Never have words been truer than those of the title, but this album also appends that sentiment, proving that music is life for the desert Taureg too. --Tad HendricksonA Unique Band of Rare Musical Quality and Massive Cultural Impact. Includes the Song "Nak Assarhagh" which Doesn't Appear on the Us Equivalent.
