Title: African big band. Great sound
Review: This album is five tracks from a mid-70's big band in Mali, West Africa. Salif Keita fronts the band on four of the five tracks. Great vocals, great horns. Unfortunately, the recording isn't great, but it doesn't hide the brilliant music. These guys were great. I think they played in a renovated train station in Bamako, Mali during the seventies. Would have been so cool to have seen them. I've had this disc for two years and I still listen to it all the time. Can't understand a word that they're saying, but it's too cool. One of my favorite discs. It's tough to find Les Ambassadeurs music. This disc has got some of their best stuff. You'll love it.
