Izvorišta 395: Lina_, Yīn Yīn, Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès
Several excellent releases were announced in January, and in this edition of Izvorišta we present three new albums. We listen to the new album by Portuguese fado singer Lina_, the Senegalese legends of the band Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès and the Dutch band Yīn Yīn. Monsieur Doumani and Dunjaluk, who have announced a joint concert scheduled for March 1st in Zagreb, at the Močvara club, are also on the show .

Lina_ - Fado Camões (Galileo Music 2024.)
Lina_ first caught my attention when she recorded a joint album with Raul Refree, on which they completely deconstructed fado in an exciting and intimate way. On the new album, she returns to a slightly more classical style of fado, but without falling into the trap of a conventional interpretation of one of the world's most popular traditional musical styles. Producer Justin Adams has made sure that her voice takes center stage, which is always a good plan, and the musical background is somewhat classical, but at the same time not outdated. I am not the biggest fan of fado music, but this album is on my players a lot and will certainly be for a long time to come.
Yīn Yīn - Mount Matsu (Glitterbeat Records 2024.)
Yīn Yīn has returned with another fantastic album that combines influences from the music of the Far East and tropical islands with funk, disco and psychedelic guitars. The description may not be the best, but the overall result is that Yīn Yīn will have you dancing every time you listen to them. You can dance at home with the stream/CD/vinyl, but it's even better to do it live. You will have the opportunity to do so on March 6 in Zagreb, when Yīn Yīn come to Močvara.

Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès - Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès (Buda Musique 2024.)
Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès was one of those well-kept secrets of African music that was first heard about a decade ago when the first compilations of this group, active in Senegal in the 1980s, were released. After the word about them spread around the world, some of the original members revived the band and recorded new material, which is now being released by Buda Musique. Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès has lost none of their energy – this is a brilliant album from a band that blends a musical style rooted in the tradition of the Mandinka people with psychedelic guitars and Afrobeat.
