Tassoumakan (meaning "Voice of Fire") is Issa's third full-length album, and represents the maturing of an artist who has found a way to honor his country's great musical traditions while creating a truly global, modern sound. Tassoumakan may be Bagayogo's most sophisticated recording yet. And it's clear that he's not trying to replace the traditional sounds of Malian music; he's instead doing a terrific job of extending that tradition into the 21st century.
