Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.What this Parisian/Malian outfit does well is integrate traditional instruments such as the calabash and the djeli n'goni into gritty hip-hop influenced grooves without losing the power or feel that comes from those instruments.
On this, their second album, there's more focus on song quality and creating the sense of a live band getting down and dirty. But the end result is as much about texture and atmosphere as it is about groove, which is no bad thing.
