Aksak Maboul
Un Peu L'Ame Des Bandits
Crammed Discs
The second of Marc Hollander’s LPs under the alias Aksak Maboul, from 1979, with Fred Frith and Chris Cutler amongst the guests. ‘Sets the imagination reeling through a sequence of phantasmagorical scenarios, transporting listeners to a cafe in Montmartre, a bazaar in Istanbul, a tango bar, a punk rock venue or maybe an exotic location in a Tintin cartoon. Eclectic, inventive, inquisitively playful and surreal… it remains simply indispensable’ (The Wire).
Casio and percussion nut-outs from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Songs about the concrete jungle, infidelity and voodoo, Mchiriku-style.
Cooking James Brown Congotronics style, featuring the brilliant teenager Roger Landu on his home-made one-off one-string satonge lute. (Check Youtube.) Championed by Massive Attack, amongst others.
Electronic dance collaborations with Damon Albarn, Natacha Atlas, Rachid Taha and others, crossing North African forms like gnawa with clubby takes on dub, hip hop and rock.
Fabulous rocking Saharan trance from this band — five women and four men — formed in a refugee camp during the Tuareg uprising of the early nineteeen-nineties. Via the team behind Congotronics.
