Songhoy Blues are a young and exuberant Malian band who already have a remarkable history behind them. They fled from their homes in the north when radical Islamists overran the region, and on reaching the safety of Bamako, decided to form a band – at which point their fortunes dramatically changed. They came to the attention of Amadou & Mariamâ™s manager, Marc-Antoine Moreau, who was looking for musicians who could record with the Africa Express team when they came to town; they also collaborated with Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the AEâ™s Maison Des Jeunes set.
Now comes their first full album, co-produced by Moreau and Zinner, and itâ™s an impressively varied and rousing set, if somewhat predictable. Thereâ™s electric desert blues (Nick), slinky, acoustic ballads (Petit Metier), and reworkings of songs from the Songhoy tradition.
‘Soubourâ™ wouldnâ™t sound out of place on a Black Keys record, while the riff in ‘Al Hassidi Tereiâ™ recalls Fleetwood Macâ™s ‘Oh Wellâ™.
