Listening Booth: The Alabama Shakes and More
Lately, it seems like everyone is talking about the Alabama Shakes, and with good reason—the young quartet (its members met in high school) celebrates timeless, down-home R.&B. and soul, and the bespectacled front woman Brittany Howard has a voice for the ages. Listen to “Hold On,” from their début album, “Boys & Girls”
- Visit our Listening Booth to discover new artists and songs. This week: The Alabama Shakes, Amadou & Mariam, Emily Wells, Bassnectar, Curtis Salgado and Dayna Kurtz.

BBC World ServiceMalian musicians Amadou and Mariam stage blind date
Blind Malian musicians Amadou and Mariam have just staged a series of sell-out concerts in the dark in London.
The stars, who met at the Bamako Institute for the Blind, believe that listening to their music in the dark is the best way to enjoy their performance and to understand how visually impaired people live.
The concerts, called Eclipse, included their most famous songs, as well as recordings from the streets of Mali’s capital, Bamako, and the voice of a narrator telling the story of their lives.
They explained…the idea behind the concerts.
