VA - Beginners Guide To African Blues (2011) (3CD Box Set)

Following on from 2010s best-selling Beginners Guide to African Funk comes the Beginners Guide to African Blues an essential primer to the African Blues and Desert Blues scenes that have dominated world music in recent years. Featuring Afro-Blues legends such as Ali Farka Toure & Boubacar Traore, the new school of Afro-superstars such as Toumani Diabate & Rokia Traore plus global-Afro-fusionists such as Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara & Dub Colossus, Beginners Guide to African Blues tells the story of African Blues in the 21st century.
This isnt the place to debate the African origin of the blues. All we really need note is that modern African music is alive with its sound; we can leave the precise details of its journey across the trade routes of the Atlantic to the ethno-musicologists.
Compiler Phil Meadley has done a good job in representing the spread of African blues from Ethiopia to Mali, via such outposts as Madagascar and Mauritius. In doing so, he stretches the definition of African blues to include the stately classical kora duets of Ballake Sissoko and Toumani Diabate, the Afro-Brazillian soind of Bonga (whose Mona Ki Ngi Xica sounds like an Angolan cousin of Buena Vistas theme tune Chan Chan) the jazz torch-singing of Guineas Sia Tolno and the Eithiopian funk of Tlahoun Gessesse. All this shows a fine disregard for pigeonholing and an admirable understanding of how different styles can cross-fertilise and inform each other. Along the way, there are some wonderful choices from the Malian songbird Rokia Traore, fusion kings Dub Colossus and the Touareg guitar band Terakaft among the 36 tracks.
There are two criticisms, though one which was beyond the control of the label and compiler and the other which wasnt. Theres nothing from the best-known giants of the genre such as Ali Farka Toure (although he guests on a couple of the tracks by other artists), Tinariwen and Amadou & Mariam. Thats down to licensing issues and couldnt be helped. Bu the bizarre theming of the three discs could.
The first CD couples Senegal and Mali together, but doesnt include the Gambia, despite its shared mande roots. Instead, Gambia gets shunted into an inexplicable conglomeration called West Africa, Centrral Africa and the Island Nations. Eithopian music and the Touaregs get banded together on a third disc. They might have been better advised simply to sequence the tracks with nothing more in mind than to please the ear, as a DJ would, rather than group them into bogus categories.
