From the first listening to HĂ©ritage, the much-awaited fourth album by Songhoy Blues, it is clear that the 4-piece rock band from northern Mali are in a new frame of mind. With HĂ©ritage, they move into a more acoustic, creative re-imagining of the âdesert bluesâ style that has brought them to world fame.
The Songhoy are an ethnicity living along the bend of the Niger river in northern Mali (their language is Songhai, hence the two spellings that are often used interchangeably). Songhoy music is one of the backbones of the âdesert bluesâ sound. Songhoy Blues pay tribute to some of the great musicians of the past, whose work continues to inspire them, giving âa big thank you to the ancestors who bequeathed works of art so that future generations could orient themselvesâ.
Charismatic, articulate and creative, the band burst onto the scene in 2013 with a powerful style and stage manner once described as âTimbuktu Punkâ. Their songs deal with issues of life and love in Mali, and are based on five-note scales, rock rhythms, gritty vocals, and glittering guitar. These elements are ever present in their new album HĂ©ritage, but with a more intimate groove laced with other sounds from different ethnic traditions from around the country. Migration and forced displacement bring new perspectives to the notion of heritage in their music.
HĂ©ritage was recorded in the Remote Records Studio and Studio Moffou in Bamako, with producer Paul Chandler, and draws on the remarkable wealth of musical talent in the city. The album presents new compositions and reworkings of old classics. It is infused with the ethereal sounds of various traditional instruments, all in the hands of great Malian masters.
HĂ©ritage is compulsive listening for Songhoy Bluesâ fans â at home and abroad - and more widely, fans of desert blues, rock, or just good music.
