Desert Blues, Ethnic Blues-Rock, Alternative

Songhoy Blues are a young and exuberant Malian band who already have a remarkable history behind them. They fled from their homes in the north when radical Islamists overran the region, and on reaching the safety of Bamako, decided to form a band – at which point their fortunes dramatically changed. They came to the attention of Amadou & Mariam’s manager, Marc-Antoine Moreau, who was looking for musicians who could record with the Africa Express team when they came to town; they also collaborated with Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the AE’s Maison Des Jeunes set. Now comes their first full album, co-produced by Moreau and Zinner, and it’s an impressively varied and rousing set, if somewhat predictable. There’s electric desert blues (Nick), slinky, acoustic ballads (Petit Metier), and reworkings of songs from the Songhoy tradition. A band to watch.

Review by Robin Denselow, The Guardian

Of all the reasons to decide it’s time to leave your hometown, armed jihadists banning music is a pretty solid one. That’s what forced Mali’s Songhoy Blues to move south from Gao to the capital Bamako in 2012. There the quartet met their producers, Africa Express’ Marc-Antoine Moreau and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. This resulting debut is a masterpiece of desert blues; blending American guitar licks with Malian groove. ‘Soubour’ wouldn’t sound out of place on a Black Keys record, while the riff in ‘Al Hassidi Terei’ recalls Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Oh Well’. Mali, home to renowned musician Ali Farka Touré, and his heirs are this righteous four-piece that even militants couldn’t silence.
