Residents, let's go to Mali
Got to love them. Amadou and Marium are coming to Brighton up the place. The much vaunted Malian duo, whose 'Dimanche a' bamboko' set the churning funk tone in 2005 are now on a follow up. The new album, 'Welcome to Mali' - a veritable beauty, enlists the help of Damon Albarn who produced track one. This has Marium delivering an ethereal and haunting diatribe that sets a thoughtful tone to what goes on to become an uplifting album. Resident records is the place to head for your tickets and to buy the album. The place is a true record shop in every sense. Photocopied write ups adorn every on-display album, the words are always inspiring and the review information spot on. They don't just copy down a press release and stick it on show. It's easy to listen at the counter too. No pretensions here, just all you need to lose half a day or so in the lanes. For any further indication of its no fuss approach - http://www.resident-music.com/
But now back to Mali. http://www.concorde2.co.uk/ It's a sell out, of course it is. If you're going, enjoy it, it'll be blinding. I'll write more after tomorrow night.
