Only recently discovered this, a vintage Brazilian but thoroughly modern, music to sit on a balcony in the morning having coffee and fresh bread. A reminder of gentleness and sophistication in a hard-edged world. 5 Tinariwen
One of the first albums I discovered of West African music, it just flows like a waterfall through a dreamy afternoon, guitar playing of elegance and grace with a measure of spice and dirt to add color. We once sat in a breakfast area on the balcony of a hotel and watched them rehearse right next to us before a WOMAD performance. It’s music to make art at home with.
