In 1998, Ernest Ranglin, Caribbean guitar wizard, released the extraordinary In Search of the Lost Riddim. If you come to this record expecting the gentle sounds of the West Indies a la Joseph Spence, what you hear will shock you. This is an African record through and through. It was recorded in Baaba MaalΓÇÖs home with his musical compatriots shaping and influencing everything in it. And it is a magnificent album, full of the graceful, gentle rhythms of MaalΓÇÖs Senegalese style.
