A Epizo Bangoura & African Express - Inchallah

Review by David Marks

Inchallah by A Epizo Bangoura & African Express is a captivating album that showcases the unique blend of traditional West African rhythms and contemporary sounds. The album features an impressive lineup of musicians from different parts of Africa, Europe, and America, who come together to create a seamless fusion of styles.

The album's opening track, "Inchallah," sets the tone with its vibrant percussion and soaring vocals, transporting listeners to the heart of Guinea. The energy continues with "Kankou Moussa," a high-tempo dance track that features intricate guitar work and infectious rhythms.

Throughout the album, A Epizo Bangoura's mastery of the balafon (a West African xylophone) takes center stage, as he weaves intricate melodies and rhythms that are both hypnotic and uplifting. The album also features guest appearances by renowned musicians such as Damon Albarn, Brian Eno, and Nick Zinner, who add their own unique touch to the sound.

Summary by David Marks

Inchallah is a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty of cross-cultural exchange. It is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the rich and diverse musical traditions of Africa.
