Afropop’s Under the Radar 2009
For their Under the Radar 2009 selection, Afropop picked 3 artists featured on our first compilation Akwaaba wo Africa! Bradez and Rose Dede Tetteh from Ghana, and Alassane Sy from Senegal.
Alou Sangaré – Buranké album
Alou’s a discreet guy, but his voice does not go unnoticed. One of the leading singers at home in Mali, he is still vidtually unknown anywhere else. He owes his strong heritage in part from his father, Madou Guitare, member of the influential Orchestre Regional de Sikasso, who’s music is featured on Syllart’s AMAZING Mali 70 compilation. But Alou stands up for his own, using electric and western instruments to arrange his typically Malian music. Stuff to make you, your mom and your grandparents dance! Comes out April 21 on iTunes.
