Tchamantché
Singer-songwriter Rokia Traoré—whose work Time has lauded as "mesmerizing, casting its spell with virtuoso vocals, rich textures and startling diversity"—combines electric guitar with traditional instrumentation on nine self-penned tunes plus the Gershwin classic "The Man I Love." The Guardian gives fives stars to this "intriguing, sophisticated and often intimate set that is quite unlike any of the other great music Mali has produced."
