Thoes of you who like the way the first Manu Chao record makes you feel will like this. It mixes and matches new and old with great delight and at the same time effortlessly blends different worlds. They obviously had so much FUN making this record and you can hear it in every note. Damon's melodica may not be perfect, but would sound wrong somehow if it was. (Great to hear melodica being used in a starring role again too - Augustus Pablo, you are much missed...) This is a record to chill out to whilst wearing a big smile on your face. Life affirming!

There's something for everyone here. You don't have to love world music to appreciate such songs as Sunset Coming On, whilst tracks like The Diembe and Niger, which mix dub reggae with laid back Malian vibes, prove irresistable. On top of these are a wealth of African sounds that will convert those unsure about what such music sounds like. Damon and friends are to be congratulated. They've managed to produce what will be an essential soundtrack of the summer for all those who buy this CD.

Superb Mali Music! 25 April 2002
By Laloux
Format:Audio CD
Do you need a change? Are you in the mood for something new and exotic? Well then, how does a trip to Mali sound? Good? Then let yourself be carried away by Mali Music, an album conceived and produced by Damon Albarn (leader of Blur and Gorillaz) and the musicians he befriended during his stay in Mali in July 2000. Let them take you along on their adventures, to the very places where Damon recorded over 80 hours of traditional music, accompanied at times by Damon's melodica and humming. This musical project (initiated by the Oxfam charity organization) represents the merging of two different musical landscapes. Damon edited and worked on the recordings in his London studio, enriching them with dubbing and electronic effects. The result is an eclectic album, a total of sixteen pieces marrying Malian and Western music, which takes the listener on a musical journey. A ride on the Niger River, a visit of Bamako's Institut National des Arts, and stops at the Kela and Griot Villages are all on the itinerary. You will be surprised and happy to discover how delightfully Toumani Diabaté's kora (a 21-cord harp), the njurka (a traditional violin), the balafon, the ngoni and the Griots' singing mesh with the piano, keyboards, guitars and electronic music. The 40-page booklet accompanying the CD is equally superb.

Do you wish to become acquainted to Malian music without getting bogged down by it? Opt for Mali Music then, the first release of Honest Jon's Records, a label founded by Damon Albarn and his friends from the Portobello Road record shop. Have a good trip!
