REVIEW
by Rovi
This follow up to Songhai, 1988's classic world beat album, fuses West African and Spanish Flamenco, featuring some of the most celebrated performers of the world music genre. Recorded once again in Madrid, this new collection features a more balanced partnership, intertwining a weave of African and Flamenco elements that is evident in both instrumentation and material. Guest musicians like Malian kora master Toumani Diabete, British bassist Danny Thompson, and Spain's Juan and Jose Miguel Carmona on guitar, help celebrate the common demoninator between these two cultures: a shared heritage as cultural outsider that transcends all barriers.
