I *think* this technically violates the rules of the user-submitted list because it is impossible to find on spotify and also impossible to find in a single easy to find playlist on Youtube.com. But I'm not complaining because this entire thing is wonderful. West African Jazz is my absolute shit. Go off Salif

Really nice album! I enjoyed it. I may not know this kind of music, but i know what I like. I liked this a lot!

Couldn't find the full album readily, leaving me with an album of remixes and questionable YouTube playlists, so maybe I just got the flavor here. Kind of a broken record on the Afropop, I like it but of course can't understand any of it, so it kind of drifts into the background.

Respect this submission for broadening my musical knowledge and exposing me to something way way off the beaten track. Great musicianship, and it's full of passion. It's not something I'll be a regular listener of, but a doff my cap to it.

This is the kind of stuff I was expecting to get more of from the original list. Thank you for recommending this!

Appears I'm lucky that this album is on my preferred streaming platform. Thanks Tidal. Has a good pulse to it, but I'll admit the slower songs lost me, mostly due to the language barrier. Still enjoyed though. Favorite tracks: "Yamore", "Madan"

Hard to rate this one as I couldn't find it anywhere. I have Youtube Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. I did find a video on Youtube with samples from all the songs, but not the actual album itself. It sounds like it would be rather peaceful. Hard to rate, so I'll go 3/5.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Yamore, Madan

Why is this not on Spotify?

Liked it. No more, no less

Couldn't say I'd listen to this every day, but I enjoyed it as a once off. Like a mix of Latin guitar and African traditional music? It kinda lost steam in places, some of the tracks were too quiet for me, but I liked the ones where it sounded like a whole village was doing backup singing. 3/5.

Pleasant Afro folk

Enjoyed an international detour for a bit, and the strong sense of melody in the instrumentals was much appreciated. This was a rich (but not fatty) LP, Keita’s warm, dominant vocals sitting perfectly atop the well-mixed melodies. Did get a bit homogeneous near the end, but overall a great listen and another much-needed international addition to the original 1001.

I enjoyed it. 3 stars.

Upbeat. Good tempo. Glad it was recommended.

Out of the average. Good album. I appreciate this kind of suggestion because I would never look into this guy’s music just by myself

I didn’t really get anything out of this but it was only 16 minutes so there’s not much for me to even say or have a feeling about.

The Mali music scene seems cool. Rating: 3.5 Playlist track: Madan Date listened: 05/12/24

Well, this album seemed to me to be very ethnic, and since it is so long for an album of this type, I found it very tedious to listen to. I suppose that for its origin it is fine, and trying to be objective, it seemed to me to be an average album, I am unable to understand it beyond my lack of knowledge.

Not my thing, but giving it 2 stars doesn't seem right either. I recognize that this is very well done, but it just doesn't appeal to me. Oh well...

Ekki fyrir mig

I'll echo what others have said, that I was unable to find the full original album and that it seems much of what I could find was in remixes. What I did hear of Keita sounded very nice, but this is a 2 for lack of an album.

World music. No me va. Un 2.

I wasn’t able to find this album so I tried several other songs by this artist and I came to the same realization. I plant have mattered if I listened to this album because I wouldn’t have understood it. The beats and rhythms clearly match the African artist and I’m sure they’re good. Don’t have much knowledge to compare them. Overall this wasn’t for me. 2.4/10
