Why do we like this?

Oh hey, it's Sunday, which means I'm probably somewhere in the middle of the Karoo setting up my tribe's AfrikaBurn project. 

One of the soundtracks of all my burns so far has been Amadou & Mariam's Dimanche à Bamako, an album produced by none other than Manu Chao. It has all the elements of a perfect world music soundtrack, and after ten years of heavy listening I'm still not bored of it.

"Taxi Bamako" is a perfect example of the album's easy-going vibe. Hopefully you agree <3
