But the influence of traditional Malian music is also quite strong, and that East/West blend yields memorable results on haunting tracks such as "Gaffou," "Ekolo d'Amour," "San Ka Na," and "Samiga." Malian music – both traditional Malian music and contemporary Malian pop – has long been known for its haunting quality, which this recording most certainly has. La Différence is not an album of traditional Malian music this is modern Malian pop, with a strong Western influence and an obvious appreciation of American blues and R&B as well as French chanson (Mali, after all, is among the Francophone countries in sub-Saharan Africa). And all those acoustic instruments – which range from horns to oud (an Arabic lute) to upright bass – do a lot to give this 49-minute CD its earthy, rootsy character.

At that age, Keita had nothing left to prove he had long since established himself as a major figure in Mali's Afro-pop scene. Salif Keita turned 60 in 2009, which was also the year in which the veteran Malian singer recorded most of La Différence (although parts of the album were recorded in 2008). © 2010 EmArcy / Universal | 000422 88240266Īfro-Pop / World Funk / World Fusion / West African Salif Keita - La Différence (2010) ĮAC rip (secure mode) | FLAC (tracks)+CUE+LOG -> 313 Mb | MP3 -> 119 Mbįull Artwork 600 dpi (jpg) -> 59 Mb | 5% repair rar
