Habib Koité & Bamada at the Rio

Hey music lovers! I found out after the Orchestra Baobab concert that we’d all been there…here’s another hot ticket.

Habib Koité is here Tuesday at 8 pm. Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt are both fans - why not you? Take a look.

Get your ticket and meet me at the Rio!

One of my last.fm friends says, “Habib!?!! you’re in for a real treat! tell me if he lifts a chair and then jumps on it while dancing??” One can only hope.

2007 albums I delight in

2007 was an excellent year for music. I’ve already highlighted some 2007 songs I enjoy; these are albums that I like very much but can’t easily single out individual tracks from. Best to play the whole thing and wallow in it. There’s a baker’s dozen of great discs here.

Starting off with African music:

Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba: Segu BlueTinariwen: Aman Iman

Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba: Segu Blue

Kouyate is a virtuoso of the ngoni, a simple lute. He’s reputedly even better live, but this album is fine. The more I listen, the better it sounds.

Tinariwen: Aman Iman - Water is Life

The Touareg rebels continue to mesmerize, updating traditional Saharan sounds with electric guitar.
