Music reviews of Segu Blue
Music Review: Phenomenal
Rating: 5 Stars
This record is outstanding. I don't know why it hasn't caught on as well as, say, Tinariwen or Salif Keita or Baaba Maal. Maybe these guys haven't been around as long as those others but they are, IMO, as good. That's high praise but they deserve it.
This group develops a warm, organic Afro-beat sound using solely acoustic instruments, as far as I can tell. The pieces have a hypnotic rhythm that is augmented by the rich vocal work (sometimes from female guest singers, other times from the men themselves). The songs seem to average four or five minutes in length but they are the kind of rolling, easygoing tunes that I wish went on forever. In spirit they remind me a bit of Tinariwen, if that means anything to you; they are kind of trance-inducing and dreamy, although the music is multilayered and complex and has, at times, a bite to it. Oh heck--listen to the samples! They describe themselves better than I can describe them. And the samples are perfectly accurate representations of the songs as a whole.
If you have any love of the artists I mentioned above, or others such as Rokia Traore, Pape and Cheikh, Ba Cissoko or Ali Farka Toure, I think you will enjoy this album immensely. Production values are excellent and the album, like most African pop records, is generous in its length (over 60 mins I think).
Highly recommended.
