Music reviews of Ma Ya
Music Review: Glad I stumbled upon this... One I can alway go back to & enjoy!
Rating: 5 Stars
In 2001 or so I was hanging around a museum gift shop while waiting for my young son to look through the goodies. It happened to have "listening domes" & an eclectic mix of music samples... Tried this & pretty much HAD to buy it. Not really being into the "World music" I heard to date, I've since searched for *anything* similar (having bought their followup CD) - no luck.
Lest you think I'm a new age or world music junkie, among my favorite, most-played CDs are ones from Alice in Chains, A Perfect Circle, Crash Test Dummies, Blind Melon, Hum, Days of the New and Habib Koite's CDs.
If you are looking for something different & a little lower-key you should give this a try.
Description of Ma Ya
Malian singer Habib Koite and his band Bamada serve up 12 songs with a gentle acoustic guitar-led swing, reminiscent as much of African troubadours like Henri Dikongue as his well-known native counterparts like Salif Keita. There is certainly a definite Malian lilt to his delivery as well as in the instrumentation and straightforward arrangements, and at times he displays the same bluesy penchant as Ali Farka Toure, albeit less stridently. Koite tilts toward a very contemporary, almost Western interpretation of his spiritual songs, with an overall folksiness softening the unmistakable African roots of his music. The result is a highly textured airy excursion that makes, with his dusty, soulful vocals, a highly appealing album of great introspective sincerity. --Derek RathGeneral CDs
