El mayor atractivo de BKO es la colaboración de Dirtmusic (veteranos del Rock que en algún momento integraron los Bad Seeds de Nick Cave, The Walkabouts o Lemonheads) con Tamikrest, una banda de músicos Tuareg que conocieron en la edición del 2008 del Festival de música que se desarrolla en el desierto de Mali. Al año siguiente de conocerse se juntaron en un Estudio de grabación de Bamako (capital de Mali) para grabar partes de este disco editado en el 2010 como una referencia de los Dirtmusic y que tiene momentos vibrantes y otros más flojos (quizás prescindible esa versión del 'All Tomorrows Parties' de la Velvet Underground) pero que en general se disfruta sobre todo cuando entra en acción ese colchón sonoro provocado por la unión del ritmo de blues del desierto de unos y el rock denso de los otros. El título, 'BKO', hace referencia a las iniciales usadas para el Aeropuerto de Bamako.
BKO's main interest is the collaboration parts between Dirtmusic (Rock veterans who were part of Nick Cave's Bad Seeds, The Walkabouts or Lemonheads) and Tamikrest, a band of Tuareg musicians. Both met in the 2008 edition of the music festival that takes place in the desert of Mali. The following year they were recording together in a Studio in Bamako (Mali) for this work, launched finally in 2010 as a Dirtmusic album, which has some really vibrant moments but other wasted tunes (it seems unnecessary publishing that weak cover version of Velvet Underground's 'All Tomorrows Parties') but generally enjoyable, especially when that mattress noise caused by the binding of the pace of Tamikrest's desert blues and Dirtmusic's dense rock kicks in. The title, 'BKO', refers to the initials used for the Bamako Airport.
