Papa Koné - Papa Koné

Review by KelownaOLhostel

Papa Koné's self-titled album is a perfect blend of West African and American blues. The album opens with the track "Sahara," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The guitar playing is smooth and soulful, and the percussion is tight and rhythmic. The album also features guest appearances from musicians like Bassekou Kouyaté and Vieux Farka Touré, adding an additional layer of depth to the music.

The standout track on the album is "Mali Ba," which features a beautiful call-and-response between the vocals and guitar. The song is a tribute to Papa Koné's homeland of Mali, and it's impossible not to feel the emotion in his voice.
