Around the World Circuit

Around the World Circuit: An effortless melding of Malian and western styles topped off by the gorgeously smoky voice of Fatoumata Diawara.
The infectiously brisk tempo, chiming guitar artistry and tight, rapid fire harmonies of Shirati Jazz.
The warmly grounded choral expression of South Africa's Black Umfolosi. The delicate, calmly unfolding wellspring of melody (starting off with a classic Morricone spaghetti-western quote!) of kora master Toumani Diabate. The loping, balafon-driven groove over which the majestic, declamatory voice of Oumou Sangare soars. The classic, Cuban-inspired rhumba (but with the distinctively African feel and sound) of Orchestra Baobab... all these modern treasures of African music and much, much more from Africa and beyond at the World Circuit Soundcloud page. Enjoy the ride!
