    Amadou & Mariam, Carolina Chocolate Drops to Perform Free Central Park SummerStage Concerts

    The schedule for the 2012 season of Central Park SummerStage free concerts has been announced, and among the performers taking to the stage in the heart of New York City's Central Park this summer are Amadou & Mariam, on August 4, and Carolina Chocolate Drops, on August 11. Theophilus London, a contributor on Amadou & Mariam's recently released new album, Folila, joins the Malian duo for their SummerStage concert; Buckwheat Zydeco and Abigail Washburn join Carolina Chocolate Drops for theirs.

About this Album

Malian duo Amadou & Mariam released a 13-track digital album of remixes on January 11, 2011. The Remixes collection features favorite singles from their best-selling Because/Nonesuch albums Welcome to Mali and Dimanche à Bamako, along with several new versions, and some previously unreleased mixes, from across their catalog reworked by what Pitchfork calls a "wonderfully random" group of collaborators. Highlights include new versions of the single "Sabali" by Miike Snow and French techno maestro Vitalic; and "Afrika" revisited by Bob Sinclar. 

Among the African contributions to the compilation are the township remix of "Ce N’est Pas Bon" by South Africa’s DJ Aero, and a reworking of "Masiteladi" by Mali’s Mo DJ. Two New York bootlegs also make their way onto the album with rising star Theophilus London’s mix of "Sabali" and DJ Sabo’s "Artistiya." Classics include 2005’s Afrikanz on Marz mix of "Coulibaly" by Ashley Beedle and a version by Akon. 

Several tracks from Amadou & Mariam's back catalog are featured, including "Je Pense à Toi," from their 1999 album Sou Ni Tilé, the track that first brought the duo to Manu Chao’s attention, and which is reworked here by DJ Alix.

FORMAT AVAILABILITY

This album is available from Nonesuch in the United States only.
