Waaju’s Barma Soussandi – Live, featuring Majid Bekkas, brings to mind the “Three T’s”, – great Malian blues and psych acts like Tinariwen, Tartit, and Tamikrest-. The track, from their collaborative record Alouane, channels a deep, hypnotic groove reminiscent of the desert blues tradition, while infusing it with a contemporary, psychedelic edge. Recorded live at London’s Church of Sound, the performance captures the raw, trance-inducing energy that these iconic Malian bands are known for.
The interplay between Bekkas’ guimbri and Waaju’s dynamic rhythms creates a mesmerizing experience, echoing the intensity and spiritual depth of the Sahara’s musical legends.
