NEW VIDEO: Samba Tourés video for the song Touri Idjé Bibi, taken from his upcoming album Gandadiko. Gandadiko, the title of Samba’s potent, diverse and ambitious new album, translates from his native language Songhai as: “Land of Drought” or “Burning Land.” The title seems to indicate a return to the dark textures that marked Albala but in fact Gandadiko is a more complex story than that. The musical moods and textures found on Gandadiko often play against the moralistic, reflective and at times anguished tenor of the lyrics. For example, Touri Idjé Bibi (Black Fruits) breezes along with a straight-ahead, infectious dance groove, punctuated by soaring backing vocals. The hopeful sound that Samba had originally sought seems to have been found. But the final lines of the song are pointed and cautionary: Oh earth, forgiveness, oh river forgiveness / Everyday we offend you. Release date: January, 30th! Please, share! tinyurl/k472pft
