20. Khalifa Ould Eide & Dimi Mint Abba - Moorish Music From Mauritania

Well, after several years of ignoring this blog, I'm back! The first thing I did was to go back and see if Spotify added some of the albums I had to skip when I started this. Lo and behold, this was was on there.

This was not an easy return. I could get into the rhythm right away, but the vocals just sounded really indistinct. However, by the second listen, I really starting digging the was Eide's voice ebbs and flows as she improvises - it really swings!

Not one I'll go back to, but the song "Art's Plume" is killer.
