Baulé - Ivory Coast
Review by Reg Moore
Ivory Coast, the latest album by Baulé, is a mesmerizing and soulful fusion of traditional West African music and contemporary sounds. The album features a range of instruments, including the balafon, ngoni, kora, and djembe, and showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and artistry.
The opening track, "Yakouba," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat rhythm and catchy melody. The song features a call-and-response chorus that is sure to get listeners moving. Other highlights include "Nanou," which features a beautiful kora solo, and "Zoukou," a haunting ballad that showcases the emotional depth of the band's music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Gnogbo," which features a driving rhythm section and an infectious melody. The song builds to a thrilling climax, with the band's percussionists taking center stage and delivering a powerful performance.
