cd cover Terakaft
Akh Issudar (World Village)

Malian Touareg ensemble's keening, scratchy singing veers off onto curvy, Islamic-flavored tangents and passages of "talking blues," discursive chanting, and raucous call-and-response, punctuated by wailing, cries, ululations and even an underlying, buzzing drone. The multi-layered guitars fulfil the image with their rich, sensually tinny chords and lead riffs. They might evoke the Mississippi Delta at high noon, T Rex and the early Stones, and certainly the late Ali Farka Touré, but they are unique and stand apart. This is potent music of the 'desert blues' variety, and highly recommended.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
