Various - Music From Saharan Cellphones Vol. 3 mp3 download

Stonewing

Just as interesting a diversity of material as the first two volumes. Probably just as full of miscredits too. Not yet sure how I feel about autotuned pop Raï vocals (though Tahoultine, by Mdou Moctar on previous Sahel Sounds editions, goes a long way towards quelling those concerns), but there is plenty enough equally questionable and engaging material here to be found. One highlight is Thialé Arby’s track on side B, which has some excellent syncopated rhythms and a guitar solo that lasts half the track – what more could you ask for?
