alliwant Already an icon, Baaba Maal's growth continues on Being, a disc that is unmistakably West African but otherwise original enough to defy description. Favorite track: Yerimayo Celebration.

aisthetic What's the meaning of "Being", Heidegger once asked. I don't have the answer. But I'm having a ton of fun listening to this. Favorite track: Ndungu Ruumi.

octavionieves Album of the year. Most insane.

PlayItLoud! I read about this album and the critics were over the moon with it. I checked BC and played Track 1. After 30 seconds my world turned upside down....

My personal musical library was no longer my reference, this track became the reference. So intens and powerful. So foreign but so close to my heart. Bought it, wrote this comment and gonna listen to the rest for the rest of the day feeling inspired to the bone... Favorite track: Yerimayo Celebration.

Afrique Victime
by Mdou Moctar

supported by 21 fans who also own “Being”

Very happy a colleague recommended Mdou Moctar to me after I discovered & fell in love with Tinariwen and this new (to me) desert blues sound! Mdou Moctar inject more of a psychedelic sensibility into their music rather than Tinariwen's drone, making it flavorfully distinctive, while still carrying that shining, twanging, sun-drenched sound we all love about Saharan desert rock. Love the grooving rhythms and the alternately snappy clean or drowned-in-effects guitar melodies. Excellent work! pinkytheent
