PITCHFORK
2005's Dimanche à Bamako rocketed Amadou & Mariam to international acclaim more than three decades after the beginnings of their respective musical careers. It was a richly deserved arrival that retained the spirit of their music with new beats and sounds incorporated by global pop star Manu Chao and his co-producers Marc-Antoine Moreau and Lauren Jais. On Welcome to Mali, Moreau and Jais stick around to steer the duo toward a harder, more outri ght pop approach.

PASTE
If the album is frustratingly uneven—if, despite moments of exuberance, it can also feel like a mundane grind—well, I suspect that also mirrors life in Mali.
