		<description><![CDATA[Last week the good people at Rock Paper Scissors introduced me to Chieck Hamala Diabate&#8216;s upcoming release, Ake Doni Ani. I always approach new-world/old-world West African albums with care, but on this one things come together nicely. The opening track that we&#8217;ll hear today, Den Woulou Lalou, features Corey Harris&#8216; slide guitar blending well with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel compelled to write again about Mariem Hassan. She&#8217;s really amazing. I posted her song, La Tumchi Anni, when I featured the Rough Guide to African Blues a little while back. I&#8217;ve since bought her 2002 release, Mariem Hassan con Leyoad. She&#8217;s one of the principal musical voices of the Sahrwai people from Western [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m continually impressed by the Rough Guide African music compilations. One of their latest, The Rough Guide to African Blues, is another example of their well researched and wide-ranging musical surveys. I&#8217;ll feature two tracks today off this compilation: the first from a &#8220;country&#8221; I&#8217;ve never featured on Benn loxo, Western Sahara. (If you&#8217;re unsure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bob Brozman released a great album a few months ago called Lumière. Every piece is based on an improvisation &#8211; he starts with a simple melody and builds on the idea, adding layer upon layer of various forms of stringed instrument. Styles range from classic American blues to calypso to music from the far east. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ali Farka Touré, one of the most internationally acclaimed artists in West African music, has died today after a long illness. He was 67. You can read the many obits floating around the web for yourself, but personally his music had a huge influence on me. Way, way before I ever even thought of moving [...]]]></description>

This musical hobby was dropped quickly after I started college and moved into a series of horn-unfriendly apartments, but I still have a soft spot for the sound.  I was happy, then, when Benn loxo listener Scott passed me a copy of Toumani Diabate and Roswell Rudd's album, Malicool.]]></description>
