		<description><![CDATA[
Last week the good people at Rock Paper Scissors introduced me to Chieck Hamala Diabate&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

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 [...]]]></description>

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 [...]]]></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>
