It would be all too easy to think of Amadou & Mariam as a kind of Afropop Peters and Lee. But while the ability to dispense feelgood vibrations from within a doubly reinforced stockade of blindness and domestic felicity has been a feature of their ever-widening allure, it is the spindly irresistibility of their music that is the most important thing about them. Amadou & Mariam glide smoothly through gear changes that would strip the teeth of a less well-tuned musical motor. They are the figureheads of African music's commercial upsurge, and deservedly so
