Following this former article, (https://africangrooves.fr/song/bajala-male/), I wanted to share with you "Djamban", an incredible mesmerizing 70s Afro Mandingo Jazz Soul track from Mali with gorgeous horn & guitar parts, taken from one of the first albums recorded in 1975 by the mythical Malian band "Rail Band" (also known as "Orchestre Rail Band" or "Orchestre du Buffet Hotel de la Gare de Bamako" because the band played there twice a week) leaded by the legendary Malian composer & saxophonist Tidiani Kone (who also played with Beninese kings from the "Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou"). Pressed in Nigeria, this album is part of the very well known "Rail Band Series" (this one is the 4th volume), and features some of the bests Malian & West African musicians (Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania, ...) from that era as : - Tidiani Kone : Leader, Saxophone ; - Djelimady Sissoko : Vocals ; - Djelimady Tounkara : Lead Guitar ; - Cheick Traoré : Bass Guitar ; - Moussa Koné : Bongos, Trumpet ; - Abdouramane Koumané : Congas ; - Mamadou "Pacheco" Bagayoko : Drums ; - Dielly Moussa Kouyaté : Guitar ; - Mory Kanté : Lead Vocals ; - Alfred Coulibaly : Organ ; - Maitre Lédy Youla : Soprano Saxophone ; Really hard to find album nowadays, that I found a few years ago during a record digging trip in Nouakchott (Mauritania). I had the great honor to got it from Mr Mohamed Vall, one of the very few record collector from the country, who used to run "Le Saphir D'Or", the only record store in Mauritania opened in the 1979 until the early 2000s (for more informations, I interviewed him here : https://youtu.be/B0MqYUPHVfs). And cherry on the cake : this sublime artwork - Hope you'll like it, enjoy !
