ArtsNash, Album Review >>
<p>The late Malian guitarist Lobi Traore was a dazzling soloist, whose angular, percussive approach combined a rocker’s adventurous edge with a bluesman’s piercing sensibility. The set’s six selections are predominantly furious, uptempo workouts, with Traore’s driving licks and riffs matched by multiple acoustic textures, beats and instruments. It’s an expressive and joyous collection, one that’s a great showcase for Traore’s skills. He enjoyed experimenting with volume, feedback, and pace, sometimes competing with band mates and other times playing off them. From the opening moments of the initial selection “Makono” to the finale “Mata Gasi Ka Bon,” Lobi Traore and comrades played infectious, relentless songs that filled dance floors and highlighted his charismatic brilliance.</p>
