The Golden Voice of Africa
Malian singer-song writer Salif Keita arranges layers of rhythm on this track from his fall 2005 album M'Bemba. Known as the Golden Voice of Africa, Keita is unique not only for his voice but also for his lineage. The albino singer is a direct descendant of the Mandinka warrior king Sundiata Keita who founded the Malian empire in the 13th century.

A New World Groove
The Brooklyn-based group Nation Beat combines two of the richest cultural syntheses of the Western hemisphere in their album Maracatuniversal. Fusing funky New Orleans second line brass with the rhythms of mangue music from Recife, Brazil, Nation Beat connects two of the more substantive variations of the New World's African/Latin (Yoruba/Catholic) amalgam. Some call it syncretism others call it transculturation. Socio-economics and politics aside, I just call it booty-shakin' fun!

Some Brazilian baile funk for your earlobes
I realized today that I've been quite critical about a lot of music/artists on this blog. Yet I've offered little in the way of alternatives. So I'd like to offer up a segment every week of music I DO like by artists I find interesting. Since I like alliteration I'll call it "New Music Mondays". Enjoy!
