La Paix
Description
Rock 'n' roll LP from Mali. First ever US release of music from one of Mali's most beloved underground garage rock bands. Lo-fi crunchy rock riff workouts sit side by side with beautiful acoustic performances. A truly unique LP - some elements of American classic rock, some African soul music & even a somewhat punk vibe all fuse to create a sound not often heard in the Western hemisphere. Recorded by Chris Kirkley. Comes with a fold out poster & press sheet. A co-release with Sahel Sounds.

music!
This is very typical of African music in that it has the sound that you would expect and in that, you would have a good idea what you are buying before you hear it. However, for me, it rises above the norm just for the energy that is evident throughout the album. On occasion it sounds as if the album was recorded in the garage on the cheapest recording system available, but I feel this enhances the feeling that you are with them as they play. I would thoroughly recommend this album for anyone who likes African music - one of the best buys of the decade for me!
