Whoever you are! I’m much closer to you than a stranger (Andrée Chedid) We are all connected. By atoms and stardust, hearts and minds and six degrees at most. By nature. The universe. Music. Take LAMOMALI, the new album by iconic French rocker, M. Recorded in collaboration with Toumani Diabaté, that Grammy-winning kora virtuoso from Mali, West Africa, and featuring a who’s who of singers and musicians from, well, everywhere, it’s both a mighty slice of African pop and a testament to music’s power to enchant, heal and unite. “This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a long time,” says M, aka Paris-based singer, songwriter, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, Matthieu Chedid. “Twenty years ago I started working with Malian musicians in Paris. A decade later I went to Mali and met musicians including Toumani. Maybe it was my African side” - Chedid is of Lebanese/Egyptian origin - “but I felt like I’d come home.”
