Songhoy Blues works off the experiences of the band members, four refugees from Northern Mali, to address systemic issues affecting colonized peoples the world over. Perhaps surprisingly for a Blues album, the heavy content of Optimisme is presented with unquenchable energy and joy.
On “Badala” and “Gabi,” the band pleads for the empowerment of women and the end of misogyny. “Worry” reminds both the young and the old that positivity and persistence are the best tools to fight our struggles. The warriors who have struggled for the betterment of their communities are praised on "Assada." On “Dournia,” the lyrics lament the lack of compassion and empathy between humans in an age of increasing materialism and selfishness. “Bon Bon” warns of being fooled by shiny promises. “Barre” asks the youth to get involved at home for change. Those who seek to divide social movements are admonished in “Fey Fey.” Each time Songhoy Blues steps to the mic on Optimisme the band confronts, consoles, praises, thanks, and encourages the listener toward the next world.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
