专辑介绍
The Desert Blues. Ambiances du Sahara(2CD box) is unusual release for Network label which produces CDs by its own means. This time several Eastern & North/Central African musicians are united under one cover, which seems to me not quite justified. I won`t comment on the "Eastern" part of this album but pay special attention to the other which explains the title "Desert Blues". I`d just like to point out an absolutely fantactic composition of Mahmoud Ahmed from Ethiopia - "Ere Mela Mela/Meche Neu"(a real masterpiece).
You can`t come across "western" blues in Africa. The most comprehensible out of many is Ali Farka Toure`s music(such well-known blues stars as Ry Cooder, "Diaraby" and Taj Mahal,"Roucky" took part in its recording). However, if you still treat this album with the "blues feeling", "Sama Guent Guii" by Youssou N`Dour(quite rare song from Yande Codou Sene & Youssou N'Dour`s "Gainde/Voices from the Heart of Africa") and "Saa Magni" by Oumou Sangare will turn out to be the true blues. They sing about the pain, the loss, the tiredness and hope. The terrific Youssou N`Dour`s voice just looks better with the simple guitar accompanement.
Sahara`s Baly Othmani, Tuareg`s nomad, collaborated with a famous "multi-cultural" figure Steve Shehan(an original cherokee), which lead to the sound of pre-electrified blues last years. One more extreme sample of this sound is Abou Djouba`s music(unfortunately, I know nothing about him). There are two unusual compositions by Baaba Maal, one of the recognized African musical rebellers; the instrumental "Samba" is the most wonderful, almost pure blues
