As Mark so succinctly pointed out in last week's Buraka Som Sistema interview, the decline of western influence in Africa has led to a flowering of impressive musicians who are effectively blending the best of western pop with their own musical traditions to create music that is just shy of mind-blowing.
West African husband-and-wife duo Amadou and Mariam are a perfect example of this trend. Peddling a new sound that blends their original afrobeat, roots and pop qualities with chilled-out acoustic, funk and electronica, plus some production wizardry from Damon Albarn, our Music Editor spat his coffee all over his keyboard when he first heard this.
