Every Song Has Its End - Sonic Dispatches From Traditional Mali

Glitterbeat began with releases from Mali and this new album, which looks deeply at the roots of that music, has a special place in their hearts. Not only is the audio stunning but there is a DVD included with 11 beautifully produced mini-docs that profile the musicians and their sonic culture. "Every Song Has Its End" is also the second release in Glitterbeat's Hidden Musics series. Bamako-based producer/educator Paul Chandler has been documenting the sonic and cultural complexities of Malian traditional music for more than a decade and "Every Song Has Its End" is an out-of-time, visceral collection of sounds from Chandler's unparalleled archive.
