description
Sakidi may not be a great album, but the 11-piece Djiguiya, from Burkina Faso, offer true rootsy West African music. They have a strong history, having taken first place in 1996's Bobo-Dioulasso National Culture Week at home, and being named Artists of the People for their homeland in 2002. The mix of percussion, the deep xylophone-like balafon, and chanting is at its best on tracks like "Douniya Kum" and "Doubabou." But it's also worth noting that there's more to this band than just music making. They involve local youngsters in the band, and plow their earnings back into social programs like a homeless hostel and food for street children. None of that makes the music any better, of course, but it does make their hearts in the right place. And the bottom line is that there's plenty to enjoy in the music, even if it's not an album that will be played often.
