From the very first few bars of Bul Ma Miin you can't help but close your eyes and sway to the beat.
The consummate musicianship of vocalists Deing, Mbouf and others are matched and surpassed by the guitar of Attisso and the sax of Koite. But, to single out certain band members is unfair, because it's the totality, the assuredness of the ensemble which makes you smile and dance.
So, what sort of music is it? Well, it's jazz, it's Cuban, it's African, it's everything which describes sunshine at a party with your favourite friends.
I think I'll be playing this and only this for the next month!

I chose this CD as album of the month for an online music club after I saw them on the Jools Holland show on BBC2. To picture their music, just imagine that Paul Simon and Youssou N'Dour were asked to play the music for Fidel Castro's birthday party. Their music is definitely African but has serous echoes of the Cuban style, like an Afro-Buena Vista Social Club.
A lot of the lyrics are in French, probably due to the Senegalese cononial history. The music is full of life and conjours images of sitting on a beach among the palm trees siping cocktails. Their music is distinctly African in origin, give or take the odd trumpet or sax. There are also modern influences too, half way through the first track "Bulmamiin" (my favourite) the brilliant guitar style is heavily influenced by western music - listen to track 1 and tell me that you never thought of The Shdaows 3-step walk. The african percussion is bordering on the hypnotic and is a joy to listen to. Yet the sleeve notes hint at a higher cause for their music making - the song are written along important social themes that are missed by those of us who can't understand the language of the lyrics; themes including a dying parent, anti-corruption messages and the importance of having "good character".
I love this CD. I play it in the car every day on the way to work, much better than listening to local traffic reports!

Sorry i stole the title from the "music fan from London"'s review. Have to say i think you're review is spot on. Saw them at the Cambridge folk-festival this year whilst drinking a bottle of red wine smiling an swaying with hundreds of others. Bought the cd of course but was a bit worried that the happy memory was mainly due to the effect of the red wine...but oh boy, was i wrong !! This album never fails to make me smile and want to get up and start dancing...even on a miserable December morning in Cambridge...and even if i haven't got a clue what the French lyrics really mean!
