The female singers of Mali have a well-deserved reputation for excellence. For some time, Mande jeli moussolou (feminine plural form of the word "jeli") dominated the Malian musical scene, but, more recently, the Wasulu singers have gained national and, in some cases, international prestige. This CD documents this musical preeminence by presenting mostly unreleased recordings by four Malian Divas: Kandia Kouyate, Mah Damba, Sali Sidibe, and Oumou Sangare. It also illustrates the stylistic differences between the Mande (Kouyate, Damba) and Wasulu (Sidibe and Oumou Sangare) styles of music. "The Divas from Mali" should be not confused with "Divas of Mali" (Shanachie 64078) which a very good recording, but this one is much better.

Les Amazones d’Afrique are an all-female collective of west African musicians, campaigning for gender equality. They have been described as a supergroup, and the characterisation seems apt. Angélique Kidjo, Kandia Kouyaté, Mamani Keita, Mariam Doumbia, Mariam Koné, Massan Coulibaly, Mouneissa Tandina, Nneka, Pamela Badjogo and Rokia Koné hold a strong pedigree, and it’s a rare opportunity to witness such a collaboration; the real sound of contemporary Africa.

Makan « Badjé » Tounkara is a jali, a griot. He is the grandson of the great Djeli Baba Sissoko (1922-2001), who was acknowledged by his peers as the “leader of Malian Jalis” in the 1990s.

'Miri' is the fifth album by Malian ngoni maestro Bassekou Kouyate and the followup to the acclaimed 'Ba Power' (2015) which saw a more electric approach, complete with distortion and wah wah pedal (as Mojo magazine says "in Kouyaté's hands, the little lute, with its skin made from the head of a cow, becomes every bit as thuggish as a distorted Les Paul."). The sound on this new album is more rootsy and reconnects to the beginnings of Bassekou's solo career and his celebrated debut album 'Segu Blue' (2007).

Citoyen du monde par son statut de musicien et Parisien de cœur, Moh ! Kouyaté partage sa vision de Guinéen sur son second album, Fé toki. Ici, l’art de Moh ! se connecte à toute la planète. Sa guitare volubile absorbe tous les styles : riffs ou solo à la congolaise côtoient des envolées héroïques de rock. Pourtant, c’est bien à Conakry que le chanteur puise la sève de son inspiration. Ses créations prolongent l’épopée des musiques de Guinée.

Un simple duo balafon-piano sans électricité ?
Le piano est chromatique (octave divisé en 12 demi-tons) et le balafon diatonique (octave divisé en 7 notes).
Le piano est une percussion à cordes et le balafon une percussion à lames de bois, doté de résonateurs sous chaque lame, sous forme de petites calebasses recouvertes d’une toile d’araignée avant, et de papier à cigarette maintenant, qui font office de vibrateurs. Si une bonne partie de leur tessiture est commune, leur timbre est suffisamment différent pour ne pas se confondre, mais pour parfois se mélanger et donner l’impression d’un même instrument.

AfroCubism is more than a fusion. I call it an explosion because it's the merging of two such strong powers. It's the musical big bang. ~Eliades Ochoa
