Reggae Legends UB40

World Music Features Rokia Traore
The Malian singer’s third album, Bowmboi, is a departure from her previous efforts. Bowmboï finds Traore singing entirely in Bamanan, one of several languages spoken in Mali. Acoustic and alternatively lilting and rhythmically insistent, the collection offers observations of life as a West African.
