Heritage (LP)
Songhoy Blues
Amoeba Review
Malian maestros Songhoy Blues take their desert blues sound into a more acoustic realm with Heritage. These songs are eclectic and dynamic, with a host of Mali's most acclaimed musicians drawing inspiration from different local ethnic traditions and from their storied musical past to create a sound that's innovative, refreshing, and just plain beautiful. Traditional instruments like the flute, kora (a harp), soku (a one-string fiddle), kamalengoni (an eight-string youth harp), Senufo xylophone, and calabash percussion weave together to create a sound that'll just make you glad to be alive in this incredible world, experiencing the enchanting music of Songhoy Blues. Heritage blends social commentary with celebration to brilliant effect.
