详细介绍:
Saharan guitar players have been injecting fresh energy into the blues, a genre that desperately needs it. One of its pioneers, and best players, was Malian Ali Farka Touré. Although he began recording in the %2770 and released a number of important albums in the %2780s, it wasn%27t until 1994%27s Talking Timbuktu album with American guitarist Ry Cooder that he broke through in the United States. Touré%27s son Vieux, also a guitar player, has now followed his father, who died at age 66 in 2006, into a collaboration with an American musical force—the increasingly respected multicultural groove trio from Texas with the Thai name, Khruangbin.
Recorded by Steve Christensen at Terminal C in Houston, Texas, the key sonic feature is reverb, and lots of it—on the vocals, the percussion and especially on Touré%27s guitar. With some variation, everything echoes across the soundstage in a style that could divide listeners. While the opener Savanne has a reggae beat, the second track establishes the template of Touré%27s nimble, very detailed style alongside the trio%27s trademark easy groove ways.
Bassist Laura Lee Ochoa sets the pace, DJ Johnson%27s drums are solid and Mark Speer%27s guitar adds the spicy accents. Over that rock-solid bed, Touré solos and sings in a number of different languages including Peul, Bambara and French. The lyrics here are African parables and folk songs, the province of griots, keepers of oral history in West Africa. Diarabi is a poor man%27s love lament: What is wrong, my love?/ It is you that I love?/ Your mother has told you not to marry me/ Because I have nothing/ But I love you. Just as a certain sameness to both the songs and the tempos have contributed to making the blues an artistic dead end, Touré%27s consistent tone, busy style and wandering, almost raga-like melodic sense become predictable here. But a taste of much needed variety comes with Mahine Me which is almost zydeco thanks to Ruben Moreno on accordion and DJ Johnson on washboard. Sung in Songhai, this short interlude has only two lines: You have to know how to hold your tongue/ You have to know how to hold your foot. At its conclusion Touré can be heard asking C%27est bon? The answer is undoubtedly yes! Ali is indeed good but the desert blues now needs more varied songwriting and experiments with styles if it is to further grow and prosper. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
