this has to be one of the most amazing combination of artists working on an album since the Distant Relatives album (Nas & Damian Marley) or Lulu (Metallica & Lou Reed)!! Seriously? Damian Marley, Joss Stone, the amazing AR Rahman, Dave Stewart, and the legendary Mick Jagger!?? woahhh, I'm really looking forward to hearing this and of course PURCHASING this album!!! Even the artwork is a big deal. It was created by Shepard Fairey, the genius behind OBEY, the Andre the Giant sticker campaigns back in the days, and the Obama campaign artwork...so, support real music and pre-order this album via Amazon, now!!! or the deluxe version via iTunes!!!

SMOD

Malian Trio SMOD Features Frontman Sam, Son Of World Music
Stars Amadou & Mariam; The Group Fuses Hip Hop,
Folk And Blues Music With Traditional Malian Styles

This is a groundbreaking album produced by superstar Manu Chao. SMOD originally connected with Manu Chao through their frontman Sam, who is the son of world music stars Amadou & Mariam. Manu Chao had produced Amadou & Mariam’s breakthrough album, ‘Dimanche a Bamako,’ catapulting them into international icons.

SMOD’s Lead Single Is “Les Dirigeants Africains”; A Commentary On Rampant Corruption In African Politics

after listening to this album once I had to restart it again...I am one of Manu's biggest fans...I absolutely love Amadou & Miriam's album especially Diamanche a Bamako. I was in shock when I heard Damian Marley & Nas sampling of Sabali in their Distant Relatives project (also one of my favorite albums!!)....soo this feels like a concoction of elements all coming together...I'm really excited about this album...I think it will do really well.
