Rokia Traore - Tchamantche

Double LP of Traore's groundbreaking fourth album!

Tchamantche, meaning "point of equilibrium" in Bambara, is the fourth album of Mali singer Rokia Traore. Released in 2008, and dedicated to her fellow countryman Ali Farka Toure, the album is a turning point in the singer's career after she has spent a large part of it revisiting the Malian musical tradition. Tchamantche reveals a unique sound in which electric Gretsch guitar riffs come to mingle with the ancestral sounds of Malian instruments, offering a new setting to her crystalline voice.
