The title of the album says it all 'Cinema El Mundo', and the music unfolds as in a film.</p><p>It starts out with the aptly named "At The Beginning" and brings us along on a journey which incorporates&nbsp;music from North Africa. Vocals from the iconic English singer Robert Wyatt are added, and no Lo'Jo album would be complete without the El Mourid&nbsp;sisters.</p> Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:54:29 +0000 Deirdre Saravia 5878 at http://tpr.org The Cinematic Sounds Of Lo'Jo http://tpr.org/post/musicians-unite-peace-war-torn-mali <p>The West African nation of Mali has seen instability and violence since March of 2012 when a military coup overthrew the government of President Amadou Toumani Touré. Since then, the violence has escalated as Islamic extremists have joined the fighting and further divided the country into North and South.</p><p>This month France announced their intervention due to the rapid escalation of violence over the last few months, and the United States is now helping with operational support.</p> Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:16:30 +0000 Chris Eudaily 5272 at http://tpr.org Musicians Unite For Peace In War-Torn Mali
