Remixes from Moffou

Amazon.com
Fans of Salif Keita are probably wondering what the heck is going on here. Why toy with an album that was known as Keita's return to acoustic music after spending years releasing uneven and often over-produced material? Moffou was also heralded as one of the top albums of 2002. At its best, a remix can take a song and completely reinterpret it, not necessarily for the better, but definitely adding a new flavor or context to the original song. This happens here. Unfortunately we get multiple versions of "Madan," "Moussoulou," and "Here." It appears that the label is fishing for a hit instead of doing a creative reworking of all, or even most, of the 10-song original, which is a problem. But amidst this shallow attempt at cashing in, there are moments to savor. Highlights include Doctor L's epic-length version of "Here," La Funk Mob's downtempo "Ana Na Ming," and Osulande's groovin' version of "Moussoulou." --Tad Hendrickson

Greates Of All Times........2005-08-30

I really dont care what this Man (Salif) releases, I'm buying it. He is one of the greatest and passionate artistes of our times and this album just proves his soulfoul touch could transcend any musical genre. Definately BUY IT!!!

House and drum n bass with light ethnic accents........2004-08-31

If it's House and drum n bass you seek with light ethnic accents and overtones underneath, Keita's REMIXES FROM MOFFOU is the item of choice: his basic traditional sound has here been transformed for the modern dance audience who needs the bass heavy and the African light.
