Oh hey, it's Sunday, which means I'm probably somewhere in the middle of the Karoo setting up my tribe's AfrikaBurn project. One of the soundtracks of all my burns so far has been Amadou & Mariam's Dimanche à Bamako, an album produced by none other than Manu Chao. It has all the elements of a perfect world music soundtrack, and after ten years of heavy listening I'm still not bored of it. "Taxi Bamako" is a perfect example of the album's easy-going vibe. Hopefully you agree <3
