Fatoumata Diawara – Kokoro (Wagram
Fatoumata Diawara - Kokoro
Music/3eme Bureau)
Release Date: Out Now
I’ve never liked the phrase ‘world
music’ – we have one world so surely all music is world music – but I fear this
latest release from Mali’s Fatoumata Diawara may be pigeon holed as such. Call ‘Kokoro’
what you want but for me it’s just an intensely beautiful piece of music full
of layers, textures and rich tones. From the feistily strummed acoustic notes
and ambient electric guitar notes to Diawara’s elegantly soulful voice and the
kind of bass that just pops up and grabs you by the shoulders, you’ll need to
listen to this track at least five times before you even begin to get the hang
of everything going on. Diawara has found a groove and if you don’t follow her
in to that groove then you are missing out in a big way.
