amadou & mariam!
hi all--a single int'l add, but it's a must-check-out....5 stars in the latest SONGLINES....a back-catalog best-of from 'FHB faves Amadou & Mariam.....
Artist: Amadou & Mariam
Title: The Best of Amadou & Mariam: je pense à toi
Label: Universal / Circular Moves
Genre: int’l
Grade: A
This is a great album—a Best Of that draws from the Malian duo’s earlier French-release CDs. The selections are spot on, and splendidly sequenced. Each song is a perfect gem, grabbing you in, pulling you along, and (no question) getting you moving. There is always a diverting subtlety: the range of Mariam’s voice, its interplay with Amadou’s singing and the fluidity of his guitar work. Almost by definition, this is a five-star album. (Yep--5 stars!)
Choice Cuts: 02, 04, 09, 07, 11, 01
