Go buy this new thing from the new world music arm of Drag City, Yaala Yaala Records: Pekos / Yoro Diallo. They also just released another CD of music by an artist who has been featured here at awesome tapes from africa, Daouda Dembele. (read: my Daouda Dembele post)

This is a tape from Mali that I bought from my favorite exotic music shop in Accra, Ghana. Apparently Malian expats in Ghana dig them some griot-style vocals with that sick metal scraper in every song, complete with electronic sounds. Life is good.

    niiice. festival in the desert is where i first heard khaira arby, that was 2005. the whole experience of the festival is definitely of the once-in-a-lifetime variety. safe travels!

    this might be one of your best posts. The 5th track (“Bê Manken”) has a broken link, though. Can we fix? I love the other 5 tracks.

    Cheers.
