Various Artists Africa Express Presents: Maison Des Jeunes

Damon Albarn has spent a lot of time over the past few years working with African musicians. Last October Albarn took a week-long trip to Bamako, Mali to record, and he brought an impressive group of Western musicians with him: Brian Eno, Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner, Holy Other, members of Django Django and Metronomy, and a bunch of others. Together, they worked with Malian musicians and quickly put together a compilation called Africa Express Presents: Maison Des Jeunes.
