Music from the Western Sahara mixes with latin moods as Aziza Brahim teams up with Aleix Tobias/dr, Sengane Ngom/perc, Kalilou Sangare/g, Guillem Aguilar/b and Ignasi Cusso/g for some luscious rhythms and messages.
Her rich voice weaves in with flamenco like guitars on “Buscando La Paz” while Sephardic yelps create a groove for electric guitar tones on “Calles de Dajla.” North African lilts on “El Wad” and bluesy landscapes team up with Middle Eastern nasal voices from Beersheva on “Mani.” Percussion from the souk chimes on “Intifada” while the next narrow road leads you to the Latin Quarter on the gentle folk spirit of “Los Muros.” Her voice goes from agony to ecstasy, while the musicians have a National Geographic sense of sound. Wondrous!
