| Contemporary music from Mali |
| Mali is one of those diverse cultures where in a thorough review of its music rarely is found a discouraging sound. It’s not that they don’t have their troubles to sing about, and I’ll need to make exceptions in my theory for Tuareg music and that of some of the smaller minority groups. But in the mainstream music that dominates the urban areas and has come to influence world music aesthetics, the creative musical impulses from a wide range of singers and musicians fill our ears with sweetness and light. Similar to Irish and Andean music, you don’t ever hear much in minor modes…no sour notes…no flatted fifths. Is it due to the use of the pentatonic scale? I’m too uneducated in music theory to say with certainty, but even when singing of drought and disaster, the music apart – to my Western ears – is a positive, uplifting sound. This program presents interpretations of (mostly) traditional music by a younger generation of songwriters, poets, and players in a style embraced far and wide by devotees of “world music”. -J.H. |
