“Diferente” by Gotan Project
“Diferente” is the kind of record only the Gotan Project can pull off. The group’s sound is a blend of Argentinean Tango and ambient electronica. They’ve managed to build a bridge between a musical style with 19th century Latin origins and one with ’1970s’ British orgins.
Impressive.

“Ha Dias” by Luca Mundaca
Luca Mundaca built a bridge between indigenous Brazilian sounds, jazz and folk. I guess that gives her the right to zoom back and forth between the three without any sort of restriction. Just to be clear, this is merely a statement of fact…not a complaint.
In fact, I have been listening to “Ha Dias” for over 3 years now and I still can’t find fault with it: No vocal lapses, no missteps on the drums and not a single misplaced note on her guitar. Luca Mundaca is successful in creating the illusion that her performance is unrehearsed, organic..almost spontaneous.
There is a certain clarity about this song I’ve never been able to define. I’m guessing it’s probably better that way.
Positive vibes….

Ssidy is what my friends call me. I was born in Senegal of Malian parents (hence my Mali nationality). I grew up all over the place…Bamako, London, Accra, Cape Town, before I went to college in Miami and finally got a job in Sydney where I’ve been living since August 2008.
When I’m not working on The Timbuktu Project, or as a financial analyst (full-time), you can usually catch me somewhere on a football pitch or involved in anything music related. Music is everything to me. Whatever mood I am in, there is always a song that captures the moment perfectly. Anyone who has spent more than 10 minutes around me will probably attest to this: I listen to all types of stuff.....possibly because no single genre holds enough songs to quench that musical thirst of mine...
