Kanou

0 - Default Title
Description
Mamani Keita is one of the great voices of Mali,* a singer who knows how to bind her audience to her,* all the better to seduce and then electrify them. She is also supremely charismatic,* with a generous spirit that embraces the world and its music. All of which makes her an independent and socially engaged artist. In Kanou,* meaning to love in her native Bambara,* Keita s blazing vocals intertwine perfectly with the arabesques woven by the n goni of virtuoso Moriba Kota and the guitars of Djeli Moussa Kouyat,* a figurehead for the Bamako Rail Band during their glory years. Unlike her previous releases *- which include the acclaimed Electro Bamako with Marc Minelli,* and two albums with Nicolas Repac on the No Format label,* Yelema and Gagner L'Argent Francais *- Kanou is a resolute back-to-roots statement,* overflowing with a benevolent strength,* this collection of searingly passionate songs is her first solo album,* marking a decisive turning point in her career.
