5.0 out of 5 stars A Road to Wonder, Peace and Love, December 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Desert Blues 2 (Audio CD)

I fell in love with Oumou Sangare, after hearing a Napster download, before Napster was shut down. Sorry, Recording industry, but you're as wrong as the courts. But for Napster, I'd never have found Sangare (like where do you hear her on the radio). I sought her thru the Web and found Ambiances du Sahara, Desert Blues. I'm totally in love with her and I bought all of her CD's. I can honestly say that but for Napster, this music would not have been purchased. Period.

Thus, I bought the first set of CD's (Desert Blues) and experienced wonder that increased as the sonic massage took me to spaces and places and heart. Truly, parts of my mind were stimulated that had not been touched in popular culture, whether it be jazz, rock or classical. And, then, I got Reves D'Oasis, (Desert Blues 2) not knowing what to expect.

The spiritual ambiance, the the purity and innocence and soulfulness of this music is something that speaks volume about peace and, ultimately, the love of music and the joy in its creation. The artistry you'll find on this collection of CD's is masterful, driving, rudimtary and refreshing. The music presented creates a yearning to return to it, again and again. I dig it. It taps into the fundamental rhythm of the human spirit and enabled me to feel the sweat of working in the fields, under the Sun and to experience the joy of prayer. I don't understand the languages, but I do understand the music. It speaks across cultural boundaries, time and genres.
