For the past couple of days I've been immersed in
the varied musics of West Africa, courtesy of
Sahel Sounds. The label's output is diverse,
ranging from raw, atmospheric field recordings
to pitch-bending, auto-tuned experimentation and beyond. The
best stuff is very good indeed and I'll be
featuring more in the future, that's for sure.
For now, here's a familiar tune by Hamadth Kah, taken from the 'Laila Je T'Aime'
compilation of field recordings.
As a bonus, my favourite cut from the same LP, the
mesmerising 'Kaounare' by Alkibar Gignor.
