Malian Oumou Sangare produced this set in the late 80s and it has become iconic in West African music circles. Polyrhythmic and hypnotic throughout, tracks like ‘Diaraby Nene’, the pulsing groove ‘Moussolou’ and the call and response ‘Ah Ndiya’ are standouts while ‘Woula Bara Diagna’ has an almost East Asian feel in the strings. Very seductive and contemplative music here.
