2020 . Les Amazones D'Afrique is a creative force that embraces international voices; sweet, strong harmonies that summon the rights of women and girls; and a meltdown of heritage and new gen talent. They were formed in Bamako, Mali, in 2014 by three renowned Malian music stars and social change activists, Mamani Keïta, Oumou Sangaré and Mariam Doumbia, and the collective has since expanded to involve many female artists from across Africa and the diaspora. Their debut album République Amazone featured guest contributions from the likes of Angélique Kidjo and Nigerian singer-songwriter Nneka, and caught the attention of President Obama, who included one of the songs in his 20 favourite tracks of 2017. In 2020, they their follow-up album Amazones Power, on which familiar voices appear alongside a younger generation of singers who represent the exciting new sound of modern Africa. Album Tracks 1.

Acid Jazz continues their exclusive licensing agreement with Albarika Store, the legendary record tag that defined the sound of Benin and influenced the entire region of West Africa and beyond. Recorded and issued in 1974, T.P. Orchestre - Poly Rythmo de Cotonou's Le Sato was one of the earliest releases on the tag, and it is also one of the deepest. Sato is the term for the traditional rhythms that soundtrack Vodun (Voodoo) rituals and ceremonies in Benin. Performance of Sato is reserved for these sacred rites, which evoke the spirits of the dead and can last for several days and attract hundreds of people. Sato rhythms cannot be played outside of Vodun. A large ceremonial Sato drum is used, which measured over 1.5m in height. This drum is played using wooden stick beaters, the drummer dancing while playing. The Sato drummers are supported by percussionists and other drummers playing smaller drums. Together, they create unique, layered, trance-inducing poly-rhythms. Album Tracks 1. Gan Tche Kpo 2. My Love 3. Gnonnou Ho 4. Min E Wa.We Non Dou
