专辑介绍
by Alex Henderson
From Mozambique to Nigeria to Ethiopia, many African pop artists use Western instruments exclusively. They're still embracing African rhythms, but they use western instruments to play them and exclude traditional African instruments like the kora (a string instrument with a harp-like sound), the mbira (one of Africa's various thumb pianos), and the kalimba. Vieux Diop, however, is among the African pop vocalists who favors a combination of African and Western instruments. On 2000's Afrika Wassa, the kora and other traditional African instruments interact with the drums, bass, and guitar. A native of Senegal who has lived in the U.S. since 1984, Diop is no stranger to multiculturalism -- on Afrika Wassa, he sings in Senegalese languages as well as English and French. His style of African pop isn't hyper and ultra-exuberant a la soukous, makossa, and zouk -- nor is it moody, smoky and jazz-influenced like a lot of Ethiopian and Sudanese pop. Rather, Diop goes for a gentle, relaxed, reflective approach and sometimes incorporates elements of American folk. Afrika Wassa isn't for dancing; it's best to sit down and listen to this charming, heartfelt CD.

- @凛风(江流宛轉)：转： 呼喊，奔突于 丛林，燃灼在荒原。 沧桑而明亮，引吭一片青色的回响。 音乐里极富生命的意象铮然闪现，一些无可替代的光芒将人的视线牵引到那遥远广袤的原野——从萌动的清晨到日落的黄昏，悸动的热浪，倦成了疲惫的梦痕。天空璀璨的繁星，将会饱蘸着黎明的甘露，洒落成丰腴的种子，去填充久已荒嶙的土地…… 那是神奇而灾难的非洲。 那是被今日文明遗忘的非洲。   音乐中有一种燃烧的热烈，仿佛有灵魂自声音中虔诚溢出，唱老了蛮荒，唱热了生命，唱醒了混沌——就这样不经意地感动起来，心被一种深沉的愿望温暖了！感受到一种原始拙朴的美感。
