Description
"On her fourth and best album, [2009's] Tchamantche ('The Balance' or 'The Middle'), [Traoré's] music carries the plucked modal pattens of Malian tradition toward contemplation and intimacy."--New York Times
Uniting the traditional instruments and rhythms of her native Mali with influences ranging from jazz and pop to European classical music, renowned singer Rokia Traoré puts on “arguably the most exciting, most thrilling live African music show around” (Time Out London). Traoré punctuates her plaintive vocals and the hypnotic instrumental grooves of her seven-piece ensemble with joyous dancing and irresistible calls for audience participation.
