Description

Renowned as the Muslim worlds finest female vocalist, Dimi Mint Abba was one of the first musicians to bring Mauritanian music to an international audience. Rarely captured on record, the complex rhythms and expressive singing that characterise the Moorish tradition have been an important influence on flamenco and as this exceptional recording illustrates continue to be a powerful medium for both political comment and religious devotion. Khalifa Ould Eide & Dimi Mint Abba CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £9.99
