Title: Not really Malian, not really Amadou and Mariam
Review: Be forewarned: if you want to learn more about Malian music and listen to amazing duo Amadou and Mariam, look elsewhere! This is not really their music. I enjoy the music of Manu Chau, and I love Amadou and Mariam. However, I wish I had bought another one of their albums (such as Welcome to Mali) instead of this one, which I find to be overly influenced by Chau and his repetitive music. A few of the songs are okay , but as an album it doesn't sound much like Amadou and Mariam, lacks their joyful music and singing, and gives over entirely to nasal Chau who seems to sound the same on every song.
Is the review positive or negative?
