Sounds and Zounds

It has been a hard winter for me with finding enjoyable music. I have been finding myself listening to allot of remakes and remixes of the past but little has got me excited till this week. The music of Amadou & Mariam has been singing in my mind. I had found there music this past summer and played there greatest hits CD threw out the sunny weather. Now, with the hopes of bringing summer into the New England winter I bought Dimanche a Bamako. This at first caught me off guard and is a different set of music compared to there past, there is more reverb in the recording and some samples have been added. These small toutches make you feel like you are listening to this music live on in a shack somewhere in Africa. At first listen, I was disappointed, but after a few listens I forgot what I knew of there music and started to really enjoy the beats and sound what was there.
