InsideWorldMusic.com, CD review >>
Desert Blues 2 is a musical journey through Arabic lands and cultures. The double CD presents two and a half hours of North African sounds from the likes of Boubacar Traoré, Cheb Mami, and Grand Papa Diabeté, and covers a wide range of styles. Its predecessor, Ambiances du Sahara: Desert Blues was a critical and commercial success, selling over 100 000 copies. This second installment will likely do the same -- it is a rare treat to be able to find such a musical survey, a compilation that includes a nearly exhaustive range of artists and styles within one musical context. The CDs are packaged in a book explaining the history and music of this geographical area, and will be a treasured addition to Arabic music fans and serious students of ethnomusicology alike.
