About "Buranké" by Alou Sangaré
Alou Sangaré's 'Buranké' shimmers with West African guitar lines and a gently propulsive groove. The title evokes a leaf tossed on a current—weightless yet carried by deep, ancestral rivers. There's a calm to the vocal delivery that belies the rhythmic complexity beneath, a serene surface over churning, joyful motion.
