by Brian Beatty This intimate collection (on the French Sonodisc label) captures Mali's Amadou & Mariam without their propulsive band behind them. A couple of songs from Tje Ni Mousso and Sou Ni Tile have been re-recorded for this set, but the majority of numbers are new. Though these performances are passionate and worthwhile, this husband and wife's recordings with a full ensemble aren't easily surpassed.
