Wau
Wau
Collectif’s
second
album,
Mariage,
is
instilled
with
a
newfound
sense
of
purpose.
Expanding
upon
the
inspirational
themes
of
their
acclaimed
2021
debut,
Yaral
Sa
Doom
(Educate
The
Young),
this
long-distance
collaboration
from
musicians
in
Senegal,
led
by
Aurora
Kane,
and
Sweden’s
Karl
Jonas
Winqvist
is
an
even
more
stylistically
expansive
affair.
Joyful
children’s
songs
collide
with
fuzzy
guitar
solos
and
thumping
hip-hop
beats.
Shimmering
synths
lift
off
from
the
plunky
percussion
of
the
balafon
and
versatile
sounds
of
the
22-string
kora.
Familiar
voices
from
the
first
album
return
with
more
explicitly
political
lyrics,
while
the
music
feels
both
rhythmically
dense
and
sonically
weightless,
flowing
from
one
spellbinding
moment
to
the
next.
