Noura Mint Seymali hails from a Moorish musical dynasty in the West African - Mauritania, born into a prominent family of griot and choosing from an early age to embrace the artform that is its lifeblood, with the intention of forging a new Mauritanian sound. Her huge soaring vocals are allied with guitar at the forefront, mesmerizing sparkle of the ardine, elemental bass lines and propulsive rhythms. Recommended!!!!
