She Went Along With Him

Amadou & Mariam sound like two people who’ve been in the same room so long they stopped keeping score of whose voice is whose. He sings, she sings, they’re from Mali, they’re both blind, and after decades making music together their voices fit without thinking about it. The title says she went along with him, but listening to them, you’d think they just agreed on something once and never had to agree again.
