WOOOW - THAT SOUNDS JUST INCREDIBLE (knowing they are blind).

this is quite nice, but talking about Mali you have to look out for "Tamikrest". i was in the first gig of their european tour 14 days ago and i tell you these (touareg) guys (and girls^^) rock like hell  - or... like DESERT!!

It's even arguable that pretty much all modern pop and rock music can trace its roots to Malian (well, most West African, really) griot tradition.

I bought this for my son, too, but that was because I really wanted it. And then I went and got another one.

Heard it a lot on RP to date, and still like it!  I like how it blends the classic Mali sound with a fuller arrangement and a rocking beat.
