Splendid music aside, two things stand out in this fine anthology: a frequent blend of balafon and electrics rather than kora-influenced guitar work, and the fact that almost every group here is new to the West (Ami Koita is the only known quantity). All of which makes for a really fresh (and pleasingly varied) take on the classic Malian spectrum of traditional/contemporary balances. Insightful notes are included, too. — John Storm Roberts, Original Music

Living up to its title, this 13-track compilation showcases how Malians are masters of assimilating new ideas and sounds into their own culture. At the crossroads of many ancient trading routes, Mali has always reflected diversity in its music, and Western instrumentation is just the latest addition to the culture. Male and female artists perform acoustically and electrically in various styles like bambara de segou, wassoulou, and n'goni, and the blues is never far away. Whether it is the electric guitar style of Lobi Traore or the country blues equivalent of Issa Bagayoyo's "Fengue," the comparisons to American blues are obvious, and all the singers, placed in a Memphis Soul setting, would show how much of our pop culture is indebted to Malian traditions. This, however, is the roots real deal, alive and flourishing, and as soulful in its own left as anything on the planet. --Derek Rath
