Tiken Jah Fakoly is one of Africas great singer-songwriters. Hes massively popular in Mali, where he lives after moving from the Ivory Coast, and in France, and he has helped to revive the African reggae scene with his sturdy singing and angry but always thoughtful messages. The new album contains some potentially fine songs, from the title track, with its warning that this is the last call for Africa, through to Diaspora, on which he is joined by the great African reggae veteran Alpha Blondy. There is even a sturdy revival of the Max Romeo favourite War Ina Babylon. But whats disappointing is the production. Kora, ngoni and balafon add a welcome African edge, but too many tracks are dominated by unremarkable keyboards, as if he is aiming for the safe international market. He urgently needs the energy and attack that Manu Chao brought to Amadou & Mariams work. Tracklist: 01. Tiken Jah Fakoly - Dernier appel 02. Tiken Jah Fakoly - Human Thing 03.
