Product Description

CD Description
On Tchamantché, singer-songwriter Rokia Traoré combines electric guitar with traditional instrumentation on nine self-penned tunes plus the Gershwin classic "The Man I Love". Just as on her previous album, Bowmboi, the Malian-born, European-bred singer and songwriter draws inspiration from the rich musical legacy of her homeland, but adds a decidedly contemporary lyrical sensibility and a sophisticated persona. Consistently championed by legends such as Ali Farka Touré, European audience have eagerly embraced Traore, and Tchamantché is another wonderful reason to do just that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rokia does it again, 4 Feb 2009
By Normann Ackthun (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The intimacy of her voice and songs make it irrelevant that one can't understand the words (although a translation is provided). Tchamantche is Rokia's best CD yet, building on the excellent Bowmboi. Do try to go to one of her live performances. Rokia simply gets better and better.

5.0 out of 5 stars rokia traore, 1 Mar 2009
By Mrs. E. M. Lauret "marti lauret" (Woodbridge, Suffolk U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am not a "world music" fan - not usually.... But when I heard Rokia Traore singing on Radio 3's "Late Junction" I put down my book and listened. Then I got up and "googled" her name. Then I bought her latest album. Ever since then, I've been playing it for friends. I hope they like it. Because I do, more and more each time I hear it. It's one of those albums that bring you something new each time you listen.

I have recently been introduced to Rokia`s music and saw her for the first time on Later with Jools Holland. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Fan
First 2/3 rd's of this album is incredibly sublime! Very novel innovative sound, quite different from earlier recordings. Final few tracks do not stand out so much.
Published 4 months ago by G. Orr

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply beatiful.
Rokia Traoré is better than ever. Her voice is stronger and so is the material she is performing.
