Customer Reviews of Festival in the Desert
World Fusion at it's Best! I am sure this "Festival in the Desert CD" is destined to become one of those undiscovered pieces of work that will emerge in it's own time. Drawing together artist in this remote local for a fusion of World Music.
Much like Ry Cooder's "Talking Timbuktu" with the Ali Farka Toure, this World Fusion of music resonates with the modern and tribal.
Try the songs "Karaw" or "Aldachan".
On the Talking Timbuktu CD, try "Diaraby", "Ai Du" or "Amandrai."
Cool Musical Spirit Arises from the Hot Sahara Desert
They arrived on camel's backs ... they arrived in SUVS ... they came by airplane ... from the USA and Europe -- to Essakane, Mali, to the Sahara Desert for a concert to end all concerts. Setting up a stage and sound equipment alone must have been a challenge, but the results on this CD -- prove it was a hugely successful effort. Amazing! This is the *third* such event!
Indeed, as the liner notes state, "Magic comes from humans and nature." While the listener can only imagine the magic of the desert ... the magic of the humans can *definitely* be heard on this CD. Track #1 begins with the sounds of the kora (21 stringed Manding harp), accompanied shortly by chanting, and then strong masculine guitar playing ... This music is infectious!!! I am frequently on my feet, unconcsiously improvising indigenous dances to the unbelievable djembe (drum) rhythms on track #1. The liner notes tell us, it is the Tamashek rhythm based on the gait of the camel. The unusual vocalizations of the women's group, "Tartit" awaken the listener to a new realization of melody and synchrony ... Robert Plant and Justin Adams play "blues in the desert" on track #4 and yes (!) Robert Plant can come "crawlin' to me on the floor" any time he wants ... talk about heart-pounding music. Another fusion sound that works wonders is track #6 on which the French group Lo'Jo combine their vocals with the W. Mali composer, Django. The style is soft and fluid. It is accompanied by a dynamic electric violin. This CD includes the chanting, vocals and rock music of the American desert as well, "Blackfire" who hale from Arizona add another dimension to round out the music on this CD. The music is original. The music is contagious. The music is contemporary. This CD weaves musical energy meridians around the planet --- connecting two worlds that are not so far apart.

Capturing a once-in-a-lifetime jam session
Festival In The Desert presents recordings made during the remote 2003 festival held in the Sahara Desert, featuring 30 acts from North Africa, Europe, and North America. Capturing a once-in-a-lifetime jam session (and one that could be reached only by camelback or in a 4x4) showcasing a melding of sound that deserves nothing less than global distribution, Festival In The Desert is very highly recommended for those who appreciate a multicultural ethnic jamboree. The twenty individual tracks comprising Festival In The Desert include: Super 11 (4:46), Buri Baalal (5:01), Tihar Bayatin (3:03), Win My Train Fare Home (6:03), Ya Moulana (3:19), Jah Kas Cool Boy (5:02), Wayena (3:01), Karaw (4:56), Aldachan Manin (3:39), Politique (3:13), Ariyalan (2:13), Chameaux (3:47), Ihama (2:46), Le Juge Ment (4:02), Wana (3:11), Koultouleili-Khalett La (4:21), Oubilalian (2:23), Fady Yeina (2:11), What Do You See (3:41), and Laisse-Moi Dire (2:34).
