Aminata Wassidjé Traoré is a rising voice in Mali. Tamala is her debut album, recorded in Bamako and released in 2009. Born in Diré, near the fabled city of Timbuktu, Aminata was raised within northern Mali’s rich cultural brew. From an ethnic Songhai family, Aminata started singing as a young child. Her music, like the environment that surrounded her growing up, incorporates various cultures and traditions. On Tamala, an album she self-produced with the help of the artist Mamadou Kelly and arranger Baba Simaga, she sings in Songhai and Tamasheq.

While northern Mali still suffers the repercussions of religious and ethnic warfare, Tamala sends a message of reconciliation and inclusion. Aminata believes people can work together for a solution, and sees the vast potential of Mali’s diverse north. Moving to the Southern capital of Bamako not only enabled her to develop as a musician, backing up well known artists like Baba Salah, Khaira Arby and Afel Bocoum, it also enhanced her vision of a diverse and connected Mali.

Tamala is considered a neo-traditional album in the context of the Malian music scene: it is rooted in northern folk musical traditions, but arranged in a contemporary way and mixes drum programming and synthesizers with the banjo-like n'goni and the sokou, a one-string violin. Hints of Hip Hop and electronic dance music sit side by side with the pentatonic sounds of the interior Niger delta.

Afropop Worldwide wrote this about Tamala:
“And then there’s the music—in a word, sublime…solos burst forth with forthright clarity and consistent eloquence. Western sounds and production techniques have been appropriated here, but the melodic phrasing, rhythms and modalities in the music are 100% local.”

In 2013, Aminata began a collaboration with Glitterbeat Records when she appeared on the album Troubles by the Austrailian/American group Dirtmusic. The Guardian (UK) noted in their enthusiastic review of the album that »La Paix, an impassioned cry against the terrorist invasion of Mali, is voiced thrillingly by Aminata Traore.”

Glitterbeat Records is releasing Tamala in a limited vinyl version of 1,000. It will be pressed on 180g vinyl with a gatefold sleeve. The album is coming out in cooperation with Studio Mali, a Bamako based label.

Aminata Wassidjé Traoré - Un Jour

Kaouding Cissoko-Senegal-Mauritanie

An alternate version of Samba Touré's song Farikoyo. The original song is on the upcoming album 'Gandadiko'.

Release date: January 30th, 2015

Gandadiko, the title of Samba’s potent, diverse and ambitious new album, translates from his native language Songhai as: “Land of Drought” or “Burning Land.” The title seems to indicate a return to the dark textures that marked Albala but in fact Gandadiko is a more complex story than that.

Philippe Sanmiguel, a record producer living in Bamako (Anansy Cissé, Mariam Koné) and Samba’s producer for both albums, provides the details:

“One thing I’m sure of is that we didn’t want to do a second ‘Albala’. For Samba that album was maybe a little too sad and he wanted something closer to who he really is: hopeful. So the challenge was to have something as strong as ‘Albala’, but with more variety in the rhythms and moods and colors. I think the album sounds musically less dark, it’s more danceable and up-tempo, but, sorry Samba, it’s not entirely a joyful album. Tension, troubles and danger are still there in many of the songs.

The musical moods and textures found on Gandadiko often play against the moralistic, reflective and at times anguished tenor of the lyrics. For example, Touri Idjé Bibi (Black Fruits) breezes along with a straight-ahead, infectious dance groove, punctuated by soaring backing vocals. The hopeful sound that Samba had originally sought seems to have been found. But the final lines of the song are pointed and cautionary:

Oh earth, forgiveness, oh river forgiveness,
Everyday we offend you.

The songs on Gandadiko are framed by a restless eclecticism.

Samba’s guitar playing has never been so anxious, exploratory and rock and roll and his voice has never been as smooth and relaxed. Samba wants to be many places at once and the accomplishment of Gandadiko is that by successfully navigating these sorts of “contradictions,” Samba’s artistry has reached an even higher level.

Please check out my other Ali Farka Touré tracks while you're here!

Time for another Ali Farka Touré  track, as the first two are proving to be consistently popular. If you like this track please feel free to leave a comment, share or repost - it would be great to hear from you!
This track, Ai Du, was recorded properly 6 years later by Ali when he joined forces with Ry Cooder on the Grammy Award-winning Talking Timbuktu album. We recorded this as part of a jam we arranged with Ali at Moray House College of Education, Edinburgh in 1988, when he just happened to have a night off on the Scottish part of a UK Tour. It was recorded on the Leapfrog mobile analogue 24-track, courtesy of producer/engineer Claude Harper, with a line-up of illustrious Edinburgh jazz and blues musicians including: Mike Travis on drums/percussion, Kenny Ellis on electric bass, Dave McNiven on keyboards, Jim Sutherland on percussion, and myself on guitar. Ali was accompanied by his own percussionist Roger Cissé. 
We heard much later that this session was what inspired Ali to make the recording with Ry Cooder. I'd like to think that's true! If you like this track, please leave a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

How could I remain insensible to the new album "organised" by M (aka Matthieu Chedid) and described as a "collective work" called Lamomali... What a great bunch of artists in this album: from Youssou N'Dour to Hiba Tawaji, from Ibrahim Maalouf to Toumani Diabate, Matthieu Chedid did a fantastic job assembling them all and this is clearly the album for the summer 2017. Oui l'âme est au Mali, the soul is indeed in Mali, in Bamako, and this is my vibe this summer.... This is a first piece called Manitoumani that I've re-orchestrated to my tunes, Istanbul, in this Ex Orient Lux (Light Comes from the East) edition.

Hopefully you'll like it too... 

I am planning to re-visit other pieces from this album, so stay tuned!

Happy holidays to all of you celebrating the end of Ramadan!
