Synopsis

Product Description
Guitarist/singer Leni Stern has found inspiration amid the sands of Mali, and the collaborative result is the further evolution of a truly unique artist.

'Alu Maye (Have You Heard)' features four original tracks written and performed by Leni Stern, Bassekou Kouyate, Ami Sacko and Haruna Samake. The EP also features a cover of Bob Dylan's 'It Ain't Me Babe'.

The EP juxtaposes Stern's trademark inventive guitar and vocal explorations with the indigenous sounds of accomplished African instrumentalists and singers. The result is at once haunting, exuberant, cinematic, personal and resoundingly assured. Stern has discovered her surest artistic footing in the sahel and savanna of Africa. AllMusic's Thom Jurek has described Stern as "a musician of uncommon caliber and vision" -- her new EP is sure to validate such an assertion.
