  Let the machine decide

  Lobi Traore is a Malian who plays that style of Malian blues that I've always liked. There's something about the Bambara language and rhythms that mixes so well with electric guitar and that driving blues sound.

  Beats, not the kora

  Posted: May 26th, 2006, 2:39am PDT by mattgy

  Tags:    [edit]

  Once and a while on Benn loxo I like to remind listeners that African music isn’t all about koras and djembes. There are lots of sounds coming out of the continent these days and not all of them are strictly related to “traditional” music, nor do they all sound like they should filed under [...]

  Gnawa, a little further south

  Posted: May 25th, 2006, 4:43am PDT by mattgy

  Tags:    [edit]

  Lately I’ve really been into Nuru Kane’s latest album, Sigil. My father sent it to me a few weeks ago after reading a bunch of good reviews. As I’ve been really busy lately it’s great that others have picked-up the crate digging slack for me. I absolutely love both of today’s tracks. [...]

  Highlife and the ballet

  Posted: May 14th, 2006, 12:40pm PDT by mattgy

  Tags:    [edit]

  I have to be in the right kind of mood to listen to highlife. Drunk on palm wine? Yeah, bring it on. Earphones in, on a beach, sipping a coconut? Absolutely. Slightly hung-over late Sunday afternoon with a glass of Chablis after some modern ballet? Fuck yeah. Old-time Benn loxo listeners [...]

  The sun is back, dance that living room

  Posted: May 13th, 2006, 5:53am PDT by mattgy

  Tags:    [edit]

  Spring is here, the weather is good, I’ve been travelling to some great places lately, I’m enveloped in white ginger, work is fun, people are visiting, concert season is in full force, I just ate some mean French toast, this coffee is great…. May in Paris makes me want to dance around my living room [...]

  Pan-Africa (in a tent in Paris)

  Posted: May 12th, 2006, 12:43pm PDT by mattgy

  Tags:    [edit]

  Hey, sorry I haven’t been writing lately. May is busy with all the special events at work, visitors to Paris and terasse apéros. That plus a rather depressing computer crash. Didn’t lose any music but my photos took a slight beating. Oh well, I’m over it. And none of this means [...]

  Island Accordimania

  Posted: April 21st, 2006, 2:17am PDT by mattgy

  Tags:    [edit]

  I mentioned a couple posts ago about how I’ve been feelin the accordian sounds from the Indian Ocean islands off south-eastern Africa. You thought I was joking? René Lacaille plays a seriously mean accordian, and the musicians of the tiny Île Rodrigues bust it like today is their last. Lacaille is a talented artist [...]

  More love from the Comoros

  Posted: April 20th, 2006, 3:00am PDT by mattgy

  Tags:    [edit]

  I’ve been gushing lately about Zainaba, the beautiful voice from Grande Comoros island. Today we’ll hear another talented female vocalist from the Comoros, Nawal. Nawal, like Zainaba and most of the inhabitants of the Comoros islands, is a devout Muslim. Nawal in particular is a direct descendant of an influencial marabout, or spiritual leader, [...]

  Cane harvest expressions

  Tags:    [edit]

  Hey, you thought I was done with the islands? I’m obsessed. My friends look at me with a sympathetic but somewhat uncomprehending smile when I enthusiastically go off about the political history of Mayotte or the untold story of Chikungunya on the Île de Maurice or the wonders of the accordian playing on [...]

The orange dots on the graphic to the left represent people who visit the site. Predictably most listeners come from North America and Europe, though I was pleasantly surprised to find out that quite [...]
