I'm a pretty eclectic music fan, enjoy World music, and this CD really fits the bill....I really enjoyed the diversity of sounds, rhythms and feelings that the album imparts. It's truly an amazing conceptual undertaking for Jamie to not just travel to Africa, but to also find compatible musicians to record and share the prolific musical message. Truly a fusion of international musical discourse and understanding that also has a profound educational element

An eclectic troupe of tribal bellydancers and musicians, a contemporary family, urban berbers, dedicated to performing Middle Eastern and North African inspired rhythms and dances.

Today they perform a fusion style of tribal bellydance that reflects the ancient longing to celebrate community spirit. The name pays tribute to the nomadic Gypsies and tribal folk who carried their song and dance with them as they traveled. Beginning on the Gypsy Trail in India, the Gypsies performed traditional dances for the various communities they encountered, in Egypt through Algeria, Morocco, Turkey, Greece, to Spain. Rhythms, costumes, and dance styles shaped Gypsy's lives as they migrated from country to country. This migration into modern times is what continuously inspires the the Gypsy Caravan.

Intense and poetic music from the master of the gurumi of Niger accompanied by the powerful percussion of the douma and kalongu.

A prolific songwriter with over 250 compositions to his credit, Malam Barka has created a whole repertoire and musical style that resonates profoundly with many modern Nigeriens who love their traditional music but also want songs that address pressing issues of contemporary life and transcend ethnic boundaries. It is as a result of this deep connection that so many Nigeriens feel with his songs that he has traveled broadly internationally as a musical ambassador of his Sahelian homeland. He has performed throughout West Africa in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, and Chad, but also in such countries as China, Japan, Pakistan, Morocco, Algeria, France, Germany, Spain, and Holland.

Award winning album. Easy to listen, easy to dance to. African grooves meets Afro-Canadian experience.

You’d hardly be able to account for his effortless musicality as a member of the 2004 Juno Award winning African Guitar Summit, the kudos received for his genre-busting solo work, his highlight performance at the Canadian edition of Bob Geldof’s international Live 8 concerts (one of the few chosen for EMI’s Live 8 DVD) or his brilliant return to New Orleans for CBC Radio’s Maple Leaf Mojo Meets New Orleans Gumbo benefit concert broadcast live across Canada. En route to understanding Popo’s musical and career achievements, one would do well to consider how Africa and Africans are often subjected to certain distortions in the public consciousness.?
