██ An incredibly wide variety of pop music can be found on the ██
██ African continent. Some styles of African pop can be ██
██ exuberant and relentlessly energetic, including soukous, ██
██ zouk, and makossa. But moody, dusky, and haunting are some ██
██ of the adjectives that describe a lot of the Afro-pop that ██
██ has come from Ethiopia, the Sudan, and Mali. On Nightbird, ██
██ San Francisco singer/songwriter Markus James successfully ██
██ finds the parallels between Malian pop, rock, and the blues, ██
██ specifically, the sort of dusky, haunting blues that worked ██
██ so well for John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins. Recorded ██
██ in Bamako, Mali, during the summer of 2000, this excellent ██
██ CD isn't easy to categorize. Blues, rock, and Malian pop are ██
██ all influences, and on Nightbird, slide guitar sounds ██
██ perfectly natural alongside traditional African instruments ██
██ like the calabash, the njarka, and the tama. The people ██
██ joining James (whose earthy vocals have a Mick Jagger-ish ██
██ quality) range from Malian musicians (including Afro-pop ██
██ artist Mama Sissoko) to American singer Sarah Baker. Bring ██
██ all of these different artists and influences together and ██
██ the end results are as enriching as they are intriguing. ██
██ Nightbird could be described as Mick Jagger meets John Lee ██
██ Hooker meets Habib Koite (who is one of Mali's top pop ██
██ singers and is best known for his early-'90s hit "Cigarette ██
██ a Bana"). Obviously, James sees the parallels between ██
██ Hooker's blues and Malian pop: both can be very moody, not ██
██ to mention soulful. And the word soulful certainly describes ██
██ this excellent CD, which blues, rock, and Afro-pop ██
██ enthusiasts should all be aware of. ██
