Amadou & Mariam's new album, Folila, is due out in the US on Because Music / Nonesuch Records on April 10. The album's opening track, "Dougou Badia," featuring Santigold, premiered on Pitchfork earlier this year. Today, Pitchfork has premiered the video for another album track, "Wily Kataso," featuring another stellar collaboration, this time with TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone and Tunde Adebimpe. You can watch the video, directed by Jennifer DeLia, below.

Over the course of the last several years, Amadou & Mariam’s music has become increasingly expansive, while remaining anchored by their trademark West African blues-rock. Manu Chao and Gorillaz front man Damon Albarn, in addition to their longtime producer/manager Marc-Antoine Moreau, have produced their recordings. Folila epitomizes their embrace of collaboration, with contributions, in addition to those noted above, from Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeah, Theophilus London, Bassekou Kouyate, and others.

The Independent  in the UK gives the album four stars. Folila shows "how adeptly Amadou & Mariam straddle both local and global, with a truly 'world' music that deserves mainstream chart success," says the Independent's Andy Gill. "[A]t the heart of every song is the irresistible combination of Amadou's trilling, cyclical guitar figures and the duo's uplifting vocal harmonies." Read the four-star review at independent.co.uk.

Folila, produced by Marc-Antoine Moreau, who has worked with the duo for the entirety of their professional career, is now available to pre-order in the Nonesuch Store, where you can also listen to "Dougou Badia."
