An excellent remix from Ashley Beedle, DJ and producer of Caribean origin and former member of the Ballistic Brothers.
This all-rounder has decided to reinvent the title track from the album "Dimanche à Bamako", which was a huge success for Malian husband and wife duo, Amadou & Mariam.
With it's Fela style bass and foot-tapping rhythms, this Coulibaly has really crossed the ocean.

This husky "sandpaper" voice, along with the black guitar from the South indicate that we are deep in the bayou. However, Don Cavalli is white and was born in near Paris. I can feel the readers disappointment with those last words. You would have preferred to hear a story of an album recorded by a criminal from New Orleans, one who died in his cell in an alcoholic coma after having read Jennifer Aniston's biography.
I am pleased to shatter these prejudices with confirmation that Don Cavalli's music is honest and direct. He has a rare and dry voice, inspired compositions and an impeccable bass-drum pairing. The production is analogical and sounds as though is has just come straight from the Sun studios of Memphis: wah-wah, disco and vintage compressors.
The social welfare should be prescribing Don Cavalli, instead of anti-depressants.
