Ismaël Lô
Ismaël Lô has long been thought of as Africa's Bob Dylan, since he performs with guitar and harmonica. But it's a comparison that doesn't work for Senegal, which is a lushly arranged look at his own country. The subjects of his songs -- racism, poverty, famine, and a ferryboat disaster that's commemorated on "Le Jola" -- might be hard-hitting, but ...

Kings of African Music
(1997)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
African rhythms have provided the foundation of so much of the world's pop music, from blues and rock to reggae, funk, and rap, from jazz to salsa to hip-hop. Returning to Africa in their new pop clothes, these strains have, in turn, influenced African musicians, and have been, in effect, re-Africanized. No better example than Ali Farka Toure, ...

by
Ismaël Lô
From the great Senegalese songmaker Ismaël Lo comes this compilation, covering the span of his solo career (though somewhat regrettably, the Super Diamono days aren't represented). The album starts out with the token broken-heart song, "Dibi Dibi Rek," with its surprisingly catchy chorus. It moves on through some more acoustic work in "Talibe" and ...

Natt

by
Ismael Lo
Senegalese bands as a whole are consistently into electronics and crossover, in a way that constitutes a new national sound rather than a hit-hunting aberration. Lo is typical, in that you may find almost anything going on under his mellow Sahelian vocals -- but all of it with the conviction that comes from doing what you like rather than what you ...
