Album Review: Ale Hop & Titi Bakorta - Mapambazuko

Ale Hop & Titi Bakorta

Mapambazuko

**** out of *****

The partnership between Ale Hop (Peruvian electronic musician and researcher Alejandra Cárdena) and Congolese guitarist Titi Bakorta is a very interesting mix of cultures, sounds and styles as the music bounces, shakes and shimmies down a new path of Peruvian/African rhythms. Mapambazuko is a wild ride and one very much worth taking.
