Oumar Konate - Smoldering Electric Guitar from Northern Mali

Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments




The Songhai towns of Northwestern Mali are a hotbed of brilliant guitarists. The late great Ali Farka Toure is still the Songhai guitar king - but now Oumar Konate is making waves with his big, bold sound. As Pop Matters put it: Oumar "shreds like a demon".

The young Malian marvel is touring behind his first international release, Addoh (Clermont Music), an intense album recorded as political strife ripped apart his home region. Oumar hits NYC Friday June 6 at Meridian23 in Chelsea. (And he'll be back on tour in the US this fall - watch http://www.clermontmusic.com/ for dates.) But once again we get the Garden State exclusive - Oumar Konate and his blistering band right here on WFMU!

Special thanks to Chris Nolan of Clermont Music, and especially to our illustrious engineer Dan Barker and assistant Andrew Chugg.
