Seckou Keita Quintet/Silimbo Passage:  The master kora player checks in with a new date that’s certainly to the left of Loreena McKennitt  but its African world beat energy has the kind of shot in the arm for last record could have used.  Of course, you won’t understand the Senegalese vocals, but they weave nicely into this world beat tapestry.  An intimate recording that never crosses the line into preciousness, this is an engaging, laid-back outing that is absolutely perfect for when you want to listen to something foreign sounding but can’t quite put your finger on what it is you want to hear.  Insidiously adventurous, this is music wide open adult ears will have a hard time resisting.
