Music from the Republic of Mali. Without even knowing the language or the lyrics, the melodies and unique rhythmic grooves pulls one in. This particular artist, Nahawa Doumbia, is very popular in her country. The first video, which is recorded with just a guitar and her voice, is delightfully real and raw. Contrast that with the same song in the second video, which is recorded in her usual style of production and you might love both takes. Enjoy! Peace Love Groove, GC
