Tinariwen - The Radio Tisdas Sessions - 2000
El desolado Sahara en el norte de Malí es el hogar de la tribu nómada Tamashek, cuyos miembros son conocidos en el extranjero como los tuaregs. La agrupación Tinariwen, que significa “desiertos” o “espacios vacíos” en la lengua Tamashek, se formó en los campos de refugiados de Libia con los tuaregs que luchaban por mayores derechos y reconocimiento frente al ejercito maliense. Allí sus miembros escuchaban rock y reggae, y cambiaron sus instrumentos tradicionales por guitarras eléctricas para componer canciones que hablaban de la revolución y la lucha cotidiana de su pueblo. Después de firmar un tratado de paz con el gobierno maliense en 1996, los miembros de Tinariwen dejaron de lado sus armas y se convirtieron en embajadores musicales de la cultura tuareg, llevando su conmovedora música con reminiscencias del blues a la audiencia global.
El guitarra británico Justin Adams conoció a Tinariwen en un festival de música al oriente de Malí. Allí les propuso grabar un álbum en un estudio de una cadena de radio local, en Tidal. Las sesiones de grabación dieron lugar a Radio Tisdas (2000), que recoge el sonido ambulante característico de Tinariwen.

Hasna el Becharia - Smaa Smaa - 2010
Hasna el Becharia, mujer de temperamento libre y sin concesiones que utiliza su música como única arma en su lucha por los derechos de las mujeres, nos trae el ritmo endiablado de su gembri en su nuevo trabajo Smaa Smaa (2010). Grabado en Taghit, una pequeña localidad en mitad del desierto argelino, con una extraordinaria y simple acústica, Smaa Smaa rebosa de canciones tradicionales gnawa, temas de amor y composiciones propias de Hasna sobre el sonido de la guitarra, el gembri, la percusión del darbuka, el violín y el acompañamiento de la maravillosa Souad Asla. Su voz única y profunda añade una emoción particular a estas canciones que salen "directamente del corazón".
La música de Hasna el Becharia viene del Sahara y nos lleva una mezcla de viento y arena, de karkabas, de tradición secular, de guitarra eléctrica y de sabor a té moruno.

Dezarie - Ease The Pain - Virgin Islands - USA - 2009
Roots empress Dezarie has blessed the reggae community with the deliverance of her newest recording "Gracious Mama Africa". Released on the Afrikan Roots Lab record label, this album emerges from the seeds planted on her amazing debut album of 2001 "FYA".
Gracious Mama Africa transports the incredible voice of Dezarie to a whole new level - the highest heights. Her foundation is firmly established in songs such as "Travelers" and the title track. The brilliance and clarity of Dezarie's voice is reverently unveiled on "Exhalt". Gracious Mama Africa abounds with pleas for social justice and racial equality with selections like "Poverty", "Strengthen Your Mind" and "Justice".But to this listener, the strength and power of Dezarie is most strikingly displayed in her condemnation of so-called civilization. "Gone Down", "Not One Penny", "Law Fe De Outlaw", "Slew Dem An Done" and "Judgment Come" all deliver conscious punches that penetrate the soul.
"Do what you want, wheresoever you please. Bombing Vieques, yes your bombing the seas. Lock up anyone that was opposing. Speaking against the nonsense that you were doing. But babylon you gone down, you gone down. Babylon funeral, you gone down." - DezarieAfter receiving Atlanta's "Best New Female Reggae Artist" award in 2001, Dezarie returned to her native island of St. Croix. Since that time, she has been working closely with Midnite, the players of instruments for "Gracious Mama Africa". Midnite's trademark sound is fully displayed on this album. Momentous bass lines from Phillip Merchant, classic one-drop from Dion Hopkins and the bubbling of Ron Benjamin on keyboards prevail throughout, accentuated by Abijah's charismatic guitar playing.
From the excellent overdubs of Dezarie's voice to the flying symbols on "Slew Dem" it is evident that Ron Benjamin worked tirelessly in the production and mixing of this album. The fruits of this labour are eloquently displayed on Gracious Mama Africa which is sure to be one of the best roots albums of 2003.
