six chunks of stunning, next-level mbalax, then, funky as anything. (incl. download code)

mbalax derived rhythm textures in visionary, purist version style - killer stuff!

two absolute masters going over to the dark side with serious results. trademark elements from both artists combining into gorgeous vox laced dubbed out electronics, recorded in berlin. the force is strong in these two... on the flip ricardo villalobos and max loderbauers vilod collaboration takes the whole other side, twisting out the original parts and arriving on a planet all of his own. metroplex returns! tip!

gawlo is a rolling, resplendent tribute to griot life ù gawlo is fula for griot ù spear-headed by none other than baaba maal. superbly expressive interjections by a trio of talking drums are especially lucid on the instrumental version. on the flip, lignou mome is an exhilarating straight-no-chaser of galloping drums, bad-minded bass and layered guitar, before ndeye gueye wraps up proceedings with a third instrumental, propelled by terse, hypnotic figures on guitar and marimba synth. with the drum-kit unattended, octogenarian legend doudou ndiaye rose features on lead sabar.

the debut release by glitterbeat records is a limited edition 12 inch with two dubbed-up remixes by electronic music explorer, mark ernestus. the tracks are pulled from glitterbeat artist, ben zabos self-titled and highly touted, 2012 debut album of frenetic, malian afro-rock.

the opener is a traditional jola rhythm, typically fast and energetic, with tuned, talking and kit drums swarming over a kind of skeletal downhome guitar, somewhere between blues and disco. the mboup brothers make a soaring, impassioned plea for an end to division and bloodshed in their casamance homeland. then a more deeply dug-in, spaced-out funk, edgily spun from a serer rhythm, underpinning mbenes reflective song about parental sacrifice. sama yaye, my mother. both with full instrumental versions.

two exclusives: erykah badus irresistible do-over of the euphoric album instrumental there, with malian synth-freak tidiane seck, and a dub by mark ernestus. lovely silk-screened sleeve

mark ernestus presents jeri-jeris swingingly masterful style of mbalax b/w hypnotic, stripped dub

killer dubbed out house version - highly recommended!

ndagga-musik, auch mbalax genannt, ist keine mode. diese treibende, dichtgeschichtete tanzmusik ist der soundtrack zum alltagsleben in senegal und gambia - keine rootsmusik, aber doch fest verwurzelt in der tradition der griots, der geschichteerzaehler und saenger westafrikas. sie basiert auf jahrhundertealten rhythmen, im zentrum stehen die sabar-trommeln und die tamas, die gambischen talking drums.
