1001 Other Albums<p><strong>Self-Titled Summer | Djeli Moussa Diawara (1983,&nbsp;Guinea)</strong></p><p>Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight should be David Bowie’s s/t (aka <em>Space Oddity</em>), but we’ve already had a Bowie spotlight this year and there’s a lot of s/t’s to get through. So, instead we’re going to jump to the next one, which is number 387 on <a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The List</a>, submitted by platenworm. Here’s a quick rundown:</p><ul><li><em>Point of origin(s)</em>: Born in 1962 into a family of Mandinka[1] griots (aka “djelis”/”jalis” i.e., West African storytellers and/or musicians) in Kankan, Guinea, Djeli Moussa learned to play the balafon (gourd-resonated xylophone), kora (West African stringed instrument similar to a lute and harp), and guitar at an early age. After moving to Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire at the age of 18, Djeli Moussa first played in restaurants and with other musicians such as his half-brother Mory Kanté (previously vocalist and balafon player in the Malian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_Band" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Rail Band</a>) and for Moustapha on his 1982 disco/funk album <em><a href="https://www.discogs.com/release/4544247-Moustapha-I-Love-Abidjan" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">I Love Abidjan</a></em>. In 1982 he began his solo career by recording this, his debut album, first released the following year by Paris-based label Tangent. The album would later be reissued by various labels, some with the Anglicized spelling “Jali Musa Jawara” and/or other titles (<em>Yasimika</em>, <em>Yasimika [Abidjan 1982]</em>, or <em>Direct From West Africa</em>).</li><li><em>Tasting notes</em>: Griot, kora, balafon, acoustic guitar, beautiful chorus vocals</li><li><em>Standout track</em>: “Haïdara” but, also, all of them (there’s only 4) – they’re all magic.</li><li><em>Where are they now?</em>: Djeli Moussa moved to Paris and has continued to release a number of solo albums (the most recent being the 2020 <em><a href="https://album.link/ca/i/1584595043" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Par Amour</a></em>) featuring his preferred 32-stringed kora (traditionally it is a 21-string instrument), incorporating various styles such as flamenco and blues with traditional Mandinka sounds. He also founded the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kora_Jazz_Trio" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Kora Jazz Trio</a> in 2002, which continued on as the Kora Jazz Band after Djeli Moussa left in 2010.</li><li><em>Websites</em>: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djeli_Moussa_Diawara" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/djelimoussadiawara" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a></li></ul><p>Happy listening!</p><ul><li><a href="https://soundcloud.com/djeli-moussa-diawara" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Soundcloud: Djeli Moussa Diawara</a> (scroll to bottom to see the 4 tracks from this album)</li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tigqOLyEG8o" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">YouTube: Djeli Moussa Diawara – <em>Yasimika</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/271920-Djeli-Moussa-Diawara-Djeli-Moussa-Diawara" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Discogs: Djeli Moussa Diawara – <em>Djeli Moussa Diawara</em></a></li></ul><ol><li>Apologies if this is the wrong word – I’ve seen Mandinka used interchangeably with Mandingo, so I’ve just stuck with Mandinka here other than using both in the tags. ↩︎</li></ol><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/1980s/" target="_blank">#1980s</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/african-music/" target="_blank">#AfricanMusic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/balafon/" target="_blank">#balafon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/djeli-moussa-diawara/" target="_blank">#DjeliMoussaDiawara</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/griot/" target="_blank">#griot</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/guinea/" target="_blank">#Guinea</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/jali-musa-jawara/" target="_blank">#JaliMusaJawara</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/kora/" target="_blank">#kora</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/mandingo/" target="_blank">#Mandingo</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/mandinka/" target="_blank">#Mandinka</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/music/" target="_blank">#music</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/music-discovery/" target="_blank">#musicDiscovery</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/west-african-music/" target="_blank">#WestAfricanMusic</a></p>

Cassana 🍻<p>This is a 19-minute performance by Mdou Moctar, recorded live at Mdou's house in Niger. The songs have been rearranged for acoustic guitar and traditional percussion. It's a nice laid-back session, while their usual is heavier, and I would say more like energetic psychedelic rock Tuareg-style. This still really grooves though.<br><a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Ethnomusicology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnomusicology</span></a> <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/WorldMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WorldMusic</span></a> <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/AfricanMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AfricanMusic</span></a><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSP44wCvbbI" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=SSP44wCvbbI</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
