Songhoy Blues release their debut Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) produced album, ‘Music In Exile’, released on Transgressive Records. All those old ‘world music’ prejudices have no place here. Songhoy Blues are four talented, hungry, sharp and outward-looking young men from a part of the world that has had more than its share and pain and conflict in recent years but has given far more than its share of music and joy to the world in return over the past four decades. That place may seem strange, alien and ‘exotic’ to some but deep down, Songhoy Blues are a familiar proposition: four young men, guitar, drums, bass and vocals, driving rhythms, big hearts and a story to tell. The deluxe edition of ‘Music In Exile’, features three new tracks - staggering reinterpretations of tracks by some of the group’s key influences. A re-versioning of the Clash’s ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go?’ features new lyrics addressing the difficult decision confronting refugees around the world - a literal ‘Should I Stay?’ and suffer persecution at home or ‘Should I Go?’ and face potential social injustice and prejudice. An extraordinary re-working of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Kashmir’, fully endorsed by Jimmy Page after initially gracing the cover of Mojo Magazine A stunning version of Manu Dibango’s classic Soul Makossa, which might be the band’s greatest musical performance to date Tracklist: 01.
