Title: Brilliance from the Sahel
Review: This is simply a great album, picking up where Denke-Denke left off, adding the occasional godje (violin) and in places a slightly more bluesy feel. Yacouba Moumouni, and his musical arranger and guitarist Abdoulaye Alhassane have an incredible vision for their group. The music has both the river-in-the-desert feel of Malian blues (listen to the desert in the rasp of the flute and voice, and the river in the accompaying molo and komsa lutes) and the swing of Wassoulou singers like Oumou Sangare. It's Niger's greatest musical export, and it's irresistable.
