Music from other worlds (subtitle: 'listen to a fool)
Ketama, Toumani Diabate, Danny Thompson - Mani Mani Kuru
"...so just stay among yourselves listening to Peruvian bands with bagpipes that only a handful of people listen to, and not even their relatives buy them!" (quote)
HERE I AM! PRESENT! I, the pompous know-it-all, frequenter of the most foul-smelling and hidden niches, who "will never be part of a majority" as that character said in that movie... I propose that you listen to some of the most unimaginable stuff I’ve stumbled upon over the years. You, take my word for it, lose five minutes of your time listening to (reading, watching, eating, sniffing...) the same things you already know how they are, that you don’t risk, simply end up with an atrophied brain.
3) Ketama, Toumani Diabaté, Danny Thompson - Songhai
After all, everything always revolves around the same thing etc. etc. (2). And, well, it was Phina who instilled the virus of gypsy music in me, so I started searching for records by Pata Negra, Camaron De La Isla, Tomatito, Vicente Amigo, Ketama...
Here, the Ketama, with their already rich platter (flamenco, gypsy rhumba, klezmer music), also added Arabic and Middle Eastern spices, an amazing group, but while digging through their discography I stumbled upon this "Songhai." Warning Masterpiece! WARNING MASTERPIECE! WARNING MASTERPIECE! A collaboration of three, an incredibly rich and spicy dish: the Ketama contribute flamenco, Toumani Diabaté adds Africa, and Danny Thompson (yes, the one from Pentangle!) brings in English folk and jazz; add some Middle Eastern spices, scents of klezmer, and memories of nomadic peoples in Europe as well as Africa, and prepare the baking soda...
Fantastic album, music from all the Southern parts of the world, unheard of (in the sense of never heard before)! If you've rightfully applauded for "Talking Timbuktu," the splendid collaboration between Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Touré, you won't be able to remain indifferent to "Songhai."
There’s also a "Songhai 2," beautiful but just a tad (just a tad) below the first; I have both, you do as you please...
