Following this previous article, I wanted to share with you for today "Bajala Malé", a mesmerizing beautiful 70s Afro Jazz Soul Folk gem from Mali with gorgeous horns, taken from the second album of the legendary Malian band "L'Orchestre Rail Band du Buffet Hotel de la Gare de Bamako" (also known under several names as "Rail Band de Bamako", "Orchestre Rail Band", "Rail Band" or "Orchestre du Buffet Hotel de la Gare"), recorded in 1973 on the local record label "RCAM" (Rail Culture Authentique Mali). State-sponsored by the national railroad Malian Company (it explains the name of the band), Le Rail Band was the most powerful Malian orchestra, that released more than ten LP’s and many 7′ from the 70’s to the late 80’s. The Rail Band’s leader was the great Tidiani Koné, an outstanding musician who was also a griot (a kind of religious leader/ influent personality), who decided to give his chance at this time to a young albino singer, Salif Keita, that would become world famous in the future. Really beautiful song, my favorite from this holy grail masterpiece, ultra hard to find - Enjoy !
