Part of the Six Degrees Records Travel Series, this collection mixes traditional African melodies and instruments with modern electronic music. Six Degrees Records states that they're "particularly interested in genre-bending hybrids that include a variety of musical styles, as well as a mix of the ancient and the modern." DJ Spider's remix of Ibrahim Hamma Dicko--a singer-composer from northern Mali--and Natty Bass Sound System's remix of Djigui--a rare player of the bolon, the most rural of Malian instruments--certainly indicate a commitment to genre bending. Going perhaps a step further, Chari Chari, from Tokyo, provides a dance-floor dimension to the Malian electric guitar playing of Lobi Traore, remixing it to an infectious house beat. There's an unmistakable African flavor throughout this collection, but the various remixing strategies give it an extra dimension that removes it from the strictly traditional. --Wally Shoup
