Putumayo Presents: Africa

Amazon.com
In many ways, African music has come full circle. The tragic diaspora of slavery provided the crucible for jazz, the blues, gospel, rock, funk, and rap, plus several Brazilian, Latin, and Caribbean styles. These former grooves-in-exile are now influencing modern African musicians, and the global village is bringing their inspirations back West in record time. Such rapid cross-pollination is bound to cause disputes about cause and effect, origins, and authenticity, but musicians will continue to experiment as they always have. This compilation is chock-full of provocative examples. The radiant serenity of the Soul Brothers' typically South African mbaqanga harmonies are closely related to gospel, while Habib Koite's Malian blues is redolent of Bamako and the Mississippi Delta. Afia Mala's Togolese pop has a hook that any bubblegum diva would kill for, and Diaou Kouyate's Guinean backbeat could make Grace Jones sit up and take notice. --Christina Roden

This flowingly well-sequenced collection of semi-acoustic tracks, some of which have a smoothly mainstream FM-radio feeling while others are more roots-oriented, is just the thing to unwind after a stressful workday or get the weekend off to an effervescent yet relaxed start. South African troubadour Vusi Mahlasela and Senegalese pop icon Diogal are heard to great effect, as are Congolese stars Faya Tess and Lokua Kanza, entwined in a lusciously Cuban-rumba-influenced duet. A lesser-known Cape Verdean songstress named Gabriela Mendes swings her way through a typically dance-like ditty and Dobet Gnahoré of Ivory Coast makes a similarly strong impression. A previously unreleased tune by Angelique Kidjo of Benin rounds the set out; every compilation should ideally offer something new, not just retreads, so this is definitely a good thing. Another important selling point: a portion of the proceeds from this album will be donated to Mercy Corps in support of their efforts to help victims of AIDS and the civil war in Darfur, and to Oxfam America and Oxfam Novib's "Make Trade Fair." --Christina Roden

Album Description

On Acoustic Africa, you'll discover gentle folk songs from Senegal, a protest song from South Africa, blues-tinged ballads from Mali and much more. The performers on this album are social activists, building awareness of the current conditions in Africa that affect the region and the world. They sing of love and faith, pain and oppression, and their ability to unite people.

Vusi Mahlasela is an active social commentator who often addresses issues of social and political significance in his homeland. His gripping lyrics and lovely melodies on "Basimanyana" demonstrate why Mahlasela is also a leading figure in the contemporary South African music scene.

One of Africa's most world-renowned performers, Habib Koité has shared the stage with some of the world's best-known artists. On the track "Baro," Koité's wistful vocals with swirling rhythms and intertwined harmonies demonstrate his distinctive sound. Koité's music video for "Wari" is a bonus enhancement on the CD, as well as one of Koité's best-loved songs.

Other artists of note include Diogal Sakho, Laye Sow, Angelique Kidjo, and Eneida Marta.

Later this fall Putumayo will translate the experience of the Acoustic Africa collection into a live performance setting, bringing together three of the African continent's most gifted singer-songwriters on one stage. The Putumayo Presents: Acoustic Africa Concert Tour featuring Acoustic Africa artists Habib Koité from Mali, Vusi Mahlasela from South Africa and Dobet Gnahoré from Ivory Coast will travel to more than 40 cities in North America and Europe, giving audiences a rare and unique opportunity to experience first-hand the dynamic performances of these truly enigmatic musicians.

A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to Mercy Corps in support of their efforts to help AIDS victims and the victims of the civil war in Darfur.

Amazing acoustic African journey.......2007-02-06

The last time Putumayo specifically made an acoustic African album was 2001's great "African Odyssey." Five years later,they returned in strong form with "Acoustic Africa." This album is a musical safari,journeying through the soothing acoustic sounds of Senegal,Madagascar&Cape Verde.

Diogal's "Sore" is a powerful lament opening the album,describing the plight of immigrants.Eneida Marta,from Guinea-Bissau,harmoniously encourages women to the accompaniment of the kora (African harp),calabash (gourd)&Western harp.Rajery,from Madagascar,accompanies himself powerfully on the valiha (bamboo harp);his song echoes the Indonesian roots of the Malagasy people--it blends African&Asian harmonies.Angelique Kidjo's "Sedjedo" is rousing&anthemic.If it weren't acoustic,it would be a power ballad.Laye Sow's "Mauritania" is a touching plea for peace.Gabriela Mendes' "Tradicao" is stately,a Cape Verdean morna that is almost a waltz.Habib Koite's "Baro" is a quiet love song.Manecas Costa's "Antonia" is a moving tribute to a woman in Berkeley who gave him a place to stay during one of his tours.

It's too bad I wasn't able to see the Acoustic Africa concert when it came to my town.However,when I drove back from work,I think I saw the dreadlocked Habib Koite in the upstairs green room of the local opera house.

"Acoustic Africa" is yet another astounding African compilation from Putumayo.If you enjoy acoustic or African music,this is perfect!

An excellent compilation .......2007-01-20

I picked this up on a whim at my local CD shop. Not all Putumayo compilations are as good - this one has a consistent feel and excellent tracks. What made it really worth it for me was the discovery of artists I didn't know. Alongside big names like Angelique Kidjo and Faya Tess, there was the beautiful voice of Dobet Gnahore from the Cote d'Ivoire, Gabriela Mendes from Cabo Verde and two artists from Guinea-Bissau I'd like to hear more from.

Great music that lets you feel Africa's spirit.......2007-01-15

A must if you are to feel Africa's music roots from an acoustic point of view. Regardless when you listen this cd, the music flows easily on you.

wonderful.......2007-01-10

This CD is great - once again, the folks at Putamayo have pulled together an outstanding collection and have done and excellent job of producing it.

Essential Listening.......2006-11-04

This disc will appeal not only to the dedicated world music afficianado, but will serve as a splendid introduction for the novice. I cannot recommend this highly enough.....in a collection of CDs that numbers in the thousands, this is truly a gem. Enjoy!!

This ain't your daddy's Afrobeat, but a prime sampler of cutting-edge urban dance grooves by African artists. Of course, most non-classical Western styles can trace their essence to the continent anyway. But now, as American and European pop saturate the world's airwaves and the internet is omnipresent, enthusiastic cross-pollination in the opposite direction has also become commonplace. Ancient tribal traditions are colliding--and colluding--with hip-hop, funk, reggae, and electronica, incorporating every imaginable sound-manipulation technology with compulsively danceable results. The set opens with a spine-loosening, mid-tempo floor-warmer by Mali's techno Issa Bagayogo, and progresses through a small universe where synth patches, wah-wahs, programmed beats, and manipulated voices coexist with talking drums, balafons, and hypnotic tribal chants. Musicians from Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Senegal, and South Africa are all heard from, and the beauty of these tracks is in how their birthrights somehow emerge transformed, but triumphantly unadulterated. -- Christina Roden

Love it! Bought it for my fiance for Xmas and we both totally dig it. Worth every penny.

Get in the (African) Groove!.......2006-09-08

This is one of Putumayo's best Groove compilations (other than Brazilian&Arabic).It's a great introduction to African techno music,danceable and accessible.

Highlights-
1)Saye Mogo Bana-I wonder why Putumayo borrows from Six Degrees,the purveyor of great world techno albums.Putumayo excels at acoustic.Still,this is a wonderful track from Issa Bagayogo that blends traditional Malian music with contemporary dance.
2)Mokote-Madeka is a delightful singer,no wonder she is compared with Angelique Kidjo.
3)Kalicom-Intensely rhythmical and beautiful.Very haunting.
4)Wouyouma-Inspiring Senegalese rap.Very different from the awful hip-hop here that glorifies violence&drugs.Positive Black Soul is TRULY positive!
5)Lagos Communique-A great from the Thievery Corporation.
6)One for Senegal-Wodnerful tribute to Toure Kunda.
7)Mofolo Hall-Very jazzy instrumental.

This album is for anyone who enjoys African music!This is definitely Afropop!

Soothing Tunes.......2006-07-17

Amazing Tunes, and they are also soothing. Nice to dance to also. Putumayo does it again

Amazing African Groove.......2005-02-05

This Album is definetly a winner, the combination of traditional afro beats mixed with Electronica is such a refreshing sound from the current trend of monotonous sounds in the dance music scene today. Pick up this album and check out any globally influenced, Dance, Electronica, House, Lounge Groove, Hip Hop, Soul music liek Euro Lounge, Sahara Lounge and World Groove.

Pure Listening Pleasure.......2004-09-10

I bought this CD over a month ago and I haven't listened to anything else since. As a former African resident and lover of reggae this music does feel like coming home. Though modernized and more electronic the music definitely captures the essence of Africa, the mixed cultures and languages - I never tire of it. You will not be disappointed.

You'd be forgiven if, after listening to North African Groove, the seventh release in Putumayo's dance floor-ready "Groove" series, you imagined that the world was getting smaller. In highlighting the diversity in contemporary Arabic music, the 12 eclectic tracks here gather influences from far beyond North Africa--from the Gypsy Kings-style flamenco touches of Egyptian Amr Diab's "Nour Al Ain" to the old-style Cuban salsa of Jomed's "Montuno Noreno" to the French-style accordion that enlivens the funky Rai of Cheb Mami's "Viens Habibi." Of course, this being a compilation with "Groove" in the title, most everything has club beats that could come from anywhere, although everything is filtered through a North African lens. A case in point is Rai--the backbeat-heavy style from Algeria that mixes American funk with Arabic instruments and melodies and which is ably represented here by Algerian superstar Khaled's "Aicha" and "Ya-Rayi," as well as the less familiar (to Western ears, anyway) Rhany and Faudel. Perhaps most surprising though is the link bared between North Africa and Latin America--which might seem unexpected until one considers the Moorish influence on Spanish music and the Spanish influence on Latin music, proving that no, the world isn't getting smaller: it's always been that way. --Ezra Gale

Album Description

With the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Sahara Desert to the south, North Africa serves as a crossroad between many cultures. The Atlantic coast of Morocco forms the Western boundary of North Africa and the Suez Canal in Egypt its eastern end. Most of North Africa is known as the Maghreb and includes the countries of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. Egypt, which is generally considered part of the Middle East, is geographically part of North Africa.

Echoes of ancient history can still be heard in the rhythms and melodies of North Africa's popular music. While electronic drum beats, disco and funk-inspired grooves, hip-hop and other Western influences are clearly apparent in the modern music of the region, traditional instrumentation, singing techniques and melodies play an important role in defining the local sound.

The two best known types of popular music from North Africa are raï and al-jil. Raï means "opinion" in Arabic, and it developed in the Algerian port city of Oran in the 1950s and 60s. Raï is the North African equivalent of rock and roll and is now popular throughout the Maghreb and in Arabic communities around the world. Al-jil is Egyptian party music. While raï and al-jil still form the core of popular North African music, Moroccan Gnawa trance, Touareg blues, Berber folk and Afro-Nubian rhythms are some of the exotic local flavors that have influenced the region's music.

In recent years, the French cities of Paris and Marseilles have become important production centers for North African music, and many popular artists are beginning to create songs that target their own communities as well as a wider French market. Meanwhile, European DJs and producers have collaborated with artists from the region, and the influences of electronica and European club music are ever more evident.

comme ci comme ça.......2007-06-14

From Putumayo, I'd expected something a bit more "ethnic" but a couple of the tunes were just pop tunes. A couple of the cuts are great!

One of the better Putumayo CDs.......2006-12-14

Luckily, my local library stocks most of the Putumayo CDs, so I can try them out before I buy them. I have found the Putumayo CDs to be hit or miss. I love some and don't care for others. This is one of my favorites. Along with the World Groove, African Groove, South Islands Groove and Women of Africa.

A Middle Eastern mixed bag.......2006-09-27

I enjoyed "Arabic Groove";after 5 years,it is still marvelous."Sahara Lounge" is the best of Putumayo's Arabic compilations."Cairo to Casablanca" is the worst of Putumayo's Arabic compilations;it has too many repetitive songs.

Where does that put "North African Groove"?Somewhere in the middle.It's neither an absolute bore,but it's better combined with other Arabic albums and put on random shuffle.

Jomed's opening "Montuno Noreno" spicily combines Cuban&North African music,as well as electric effects.Samira Saeid's "Aal Eah" is a great dance song;she's the Moroccan equivalent of Britney Spears,but MUCH better.Amina's "Dis-Moi Pourquoi" has a great beat.Cheb Jilani's "Bahebbak"is a danceable love song.Hamid Baroudi's "Sidi" is disappointing;it's repetitive&dull,unlike his "Caravan II Baghdad" on Putumayo's out-of-print "New World Party" as well as his mesmerizing "Trance Dance" on Putumayo's still in print "World Lounge."Khaled's "Ya-Rayi" shows the "King of Rai" in top form.It's infectious.Cheb Mami's "Viens Habibi" is alright,but the "Prince of Rai" has done much,much better on his albums "Meli Meli"&"Saida." In this song,his sound is too Westernized;it fit in Sting's "Desert Rose" (his ululations made that song exotic),but this time his music is rendered dull.Mohamed Mounir's "Hanina" is excellent,bringing in Nubian rhyth,s.If you're curious,a remix of it by Jasmon is on Putumayo's "Sahara Lounge." It was interesting on my 5-CD player to first hear the Jasmon remix of "Hanina",then the original,thinking,"I've heard this before!"

"North African Groove" is a good introduction to Arabic music.If you want to hear some GREAT Arabic music,listen to Natacha Atlas and Cheb Mami.It's a musical world worth exploring.

More music to stimulate your life........2006-06-05

Hey, hey, hey, don't let this CD pass you by. Okay let's get one thing straight, African, Mediterranean, and Gypsy music are the best sounds on the market. Why? Because those are origins of our roots, and check the women how provocative they are when they dance the Latin beat. I have to write a review every time I have an encounter with these women and the music goes along with the adventure. Some of these friends check Amazon.com to see if I wrote some thing about them and the music they introduced me, it makes them happy. This CD is a must for the Arabic listener. The music is awesome and so are the women! I'm lucky because not only do I get to enjoy the music and share the women, my wife is very open minded too! But don't take my word for it. Click on all the selections.

Groove, indeed!.......2006-04-30

I heard this music playing in the background as I shopped in the museum store at the Fields Museum in Chicago. It was so infectious that I inquired what it was and bought one. I loved that it was a hybrid between mediterranean, latin, hip hop, jazz and middle-eastern. At least that's how I described it to the three friends who listened to the clips on Amazon at my suggestion, and bought it, too.

This is really great, "dance around the house while you're cleaning" music. It could also be great exercise music, or background at a dinner party. Very upbeat, very fun, very full of life. Impossible to be unhappy while listening to this!

Women have always been at the center of sub-Saharan music, as they were the keepers of the hearth, intimately involved in the life-sustaining mysteries of agriculture, food preparation, birth, and death. However, Africa, like the rest the world, is in the throes of social change. Female roles are evolving and the artists heard here represent a confident, worldly sensibility. The roster encompasses Dorothy Masuka's comfortable, gospel-flavored South African jazz, Maria de Barrios' sensual Cape Verdean morna, and a liltingly tonal ballad from Paris-based Algerian refugee Souad Massi. But a major reason to purchase this album is the track by Khadja Nin of Burundi; her deep-toned, knowing, unpolished voice transforms a Stevie Wonder tune into an ecstatic anthem of empowerment. Despite the occasional overuse of easy-fix electric keyboards, each singer emerges as a force to be reckoned with as, one by one, their voices salute the earth and soar into the heavens. --Christina Roden

Beautiful music.......2007-07-18

Elegant, melodic, rhythmic, and contemporary. An awesome collection
of songs, from relaxed ballads to more rhythmically motivated #s. A nice
spice of high life, but much more diverse than that. Toe tappers that keeps your life picture bright. Refreshing.

the music is rhythmic and pleasing to the ear. i enjoy the cd and use it in my pilates classes. i have many putumayo cds and like them alot. my only complaint is that like some of the other putumayo cds i wish it had 2-3 more songs.

An Accessibly Exotic Treat.......2006-06-07

Another primo collection from the "Putumayo Presents" series, "Women of Africa" is a treasure. Unless you're tone deaf or otherwise severely Music Appreciation-Challenged, you're going to love this CD; and in fact, so will your kids and so will your parents. Even your co-workers! There's nothing not to like, and I mean that only in the best possible way, not in a bland "one-size-fits-all" way. There are a variety of sounds and styles, but they follow one another well; this assortment isn't all over the map in a jarring, staccato way. It's suitable for all occasions, from lightening up your commute, to the workplace itself, or as a social lubricant at picnics and parties and other gatherings. Go ahead; conduct an experiment by playing this CD (at a mid-level volume), and watch your formerly uptight friends and colleagues start to loosen up and enjoy themselves.

I'm describing the effect of the music more than the music itself, because that is a visceral experience which you must take part in yourself. But I've already done the weeding; I sample and screen music all the time in search of recordings such as this one, and it involves suffering through a lot of turkeys, believe me. But I've done the work for you, so you don't have to.

But for the record, I will mention that Dorothy Masuka's selection here sounds like the kind of smooth jazz vocal piece one might hear from a Nat Cole or Natalie Cole or Diana Krall ensemble. That's one example only; this collection features a whole potpourri of tuneful sounds and they're all delightful (hard as that might be to believe).

makes me smile.......2005-10-26

I just got this CD recently and I've put it on every morning. The calm, purely happy, energy just makes me start the day on the right foot!
