Artist<\/strong>: Amadou & Mariam<\/a> I’ve been loving this release from the second I heard the track “S\u00c3\u00a9n\u00c3\u00a9gal Fast Food.” It took me a listen or two to really get into the whole thing (it’s a little harder when it’s in French), but it’s a great album as a whole, and a few tracks on here could get really big in the U.S., especially with a remix by some famous rap figure. The album was produced by\/with Manu Chao, and it’s got a lot of very funky sound combinations, that come together to give it a very distinct world-esque feel, yet all of the tracks are easily listenable to someone not into the world scene since they’re so catchy.<\/p>\n Dimanche \u00c3\u20ac Bamako<\/em> – 04 – La R\u00c3\u00a9alit\u00c3\u00a9<\/a>. I recently chose to feature “Senegal Fast Food” on the Contrast Podcast<\/a>. You can hear it on the upcoming Podcast #14, which will feature all french language tracks. It should be released within the next week or so. You can check out some very insightful commentary by me, make sure to check it out and add the Contast Podcast to your iTunes Podcast Catcher.<\/p>\n
