Customer Reviews
A funky, eclectic work of genius
Cheikh Lo has an utterly distinctive sound that is unmistakably his own, his ability to incorporate a wide variety of influences is incredible - the sound encompasses mbalax, reggae, jazz, funk, flamenco, Congolese rumbas, Cuban guajiras and the rhythms of Brazil. Whilst the message may be deep, ‘Lamp Fall’ is an undeniably upbeat, celebratory album, which weaves together a myriad of colours and textures much like the patchwork clothes that are Cheikh’s trademark, and brings him once again to the forefront of the contemporary African music scene.
I can't recommend highly enough - buy it!
great upbeat music from senegal
I'm quite new to african music but got this cd after seeing him play solo on Jools Holland's show but with a band it sounds even better, one track even has a 40 strong ensamble.
This album has a very contemporary feel and still contains the traditions of the music.
highly recomended!
A keeper
If, like me, you have a large collection of albums in a wide variety of genres, then you might also find, like me, that there are a certain small number which never stray far away from the player, no matter how long you have had them. Whether it's sooner or later, they always make a return visit. For me, this is one. Incidentally, so was his first 'Ne La Thiass'. What does it for me are the infectous rhythms. Personally, I have never felt the need to know what he is singing about.
