Mojo Radio - 5577

Amazon.com The American release of this 1998 Lo'Jo album might be belated, but it's worth the wait, for this is the record that brings together all the elements of their sound in perfect balance. Denis Péan's gruff Gallic charm works off the Arabic harmonies of Yamina and Nadia El Mourid, while a flexible but powerful rhythm section coils behind the instrumental fire of violinist and kora player Richard Bourreau. The result is influenced equally by French chanson, Maghrebi rhythms, and the raw melodies of West Africa, all focused by a powerful individual vision that speaks particularly eloquently on "Sin Acabar" and the superb title track, whose chorus just explodes into the mind. World music for a new world. --Chris Nickson
