Malouma (whose full name is Malouma Mint Moktat Ould Meidah) is a Mauritanian griotte who keeps pushing at the boundaries between ancient and modern -- and this release is no exception to that. In fact, it's probably the most satisfying fusion she's come up with to date. The linchpin to that isn't so much Malouma herself, excellent as she is, but French guitarist Pierre Fruchard, whose contributions are seminal to the sound here, whether it's the feedback that propels the last part of "Nebine" or the sustained notes on "Lemra." But he operates within the more traditional song framework of call and response and heavy percussion. There's a strong streak of desert blues on the album, perhaps most evident on "Kentawaiyate." Malouma's developed into a wonderfully expressive singer who can brings nuances of emotion to her material, as she proved on "Chtib." A number of West African acts have mined similar territory, but this once achieves a strong balance quite effortlessly, taking advantage of the tension between cultures to produce some real art. ~ Chris Nickson

After a career as the sideman to such names as Taj Mahal and Ali Farka Toure, Malian Bassekou Kouyate finally stepped out on his own with the enveloping beauty SEGA BLUE. Starring the ngoni, a five-string instrument of traditional West Africa with tonal qualities somewhere between a percussive banjo and a plucked lute, SEGA BLUE finds Kouyate--himself a master ngoni player--and three cohorts interlocking expressive pentatonic riffs across 14 elliptical tracks. Most of the songs lyrically focus on the Bambara empire in pre-colonial 18th century Mali, but a few standouts such as the elegiac "Lament for Ali Farka" depart from the concept. With Kouyate's wife, Ami Sacko, and Zoumana Tereta expressively sharing vocal duties over the quartet's loping grooves, SEGA BLUE stands as a classic of contemporary West African ...

A lovely, gentle dose of Afro-pop from an artist originally from the Ivory Coast, but now based in France as fighting tears her homeland apart.

Nour CD music
CD $10.05  3 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Celtic Woman, initially a one-shot collaboration by six leading Irish vocalists for a 2004 PBS special, struck a chord of adoration for the Emerald Isle, a fancy affecting both sides of the Atlantic, and swiftly became a permanent collective. THE GREATEST JOURNEY captures many of the best moments of elegant harmonizing by the act, from their serene and rapturous take on Enya's "Orinoco Flow" to the mournful yet poppily uplifting indigenous folk of "You Raise Me Up." The modern Celtic music revival shuddered in the wake of Michael Flatley's overbearing Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, which peppered the landscape to the point of overkill. While the more traditional beat of Celtic music remained, and remains alive and well, often nestled deep in its own wooded niche, what the general public received was increasingly more watered down and less palatable than anything ...

Introducing Brel Mackey born and raised in the South Bronx of New York City the most versatile MC to come. With blazing unique flows there isn't a beat that he doesn't ride like a lyrical pro. Not only is he hot when he spit's his rhymes, he's on fire when producing tracks for himself. Brel moved to Atlanta and began taking the music business by storm. Here he met Chris Smith of Kris Kross, and together they wrote and produced songs for a new Kris Kross album for a possible release on Judgment Records. Brel continued to cultivate his talent on his own time, writing and producing songs with Jazzy Pha of Noon Time and Wyle-E of Red Zone, including a song he produced that featured Ashanti. These producers have both gone to succeed in the business, Brel is next! Brel's dedication to his art has proven worthy with comparisons to Jay-Z, Nelly, and Eminem. He is just waiting to explode. His latest single is currently spinning in all Atlanta's ...
