World review: Malick Pathe Sow, Maayo Men

Sow weaves a web of acoustic entrapment so subtle that it's a pleasure to get trapped in it, says Ben Thompson
  
  


Recorded in Matongé – Brussels' African quarter – the Muziek publique label's auspicious debut release is this captivating fourth solo album by Senegalese veteran (and former Baaba Maal sideman) Sow. Intertwining his own guitar with kora, African violin, and Emre Gultekin's Turkish lute, Sow weaves a web of acoustic entrapment so subtle that it's a pleasure to get trapped in it.
