V.A. (Original Sound Of Mali)
Description:
The second edition of "The Original Sound of Mali", a compilation released by Mr. Bongo to great acclaim! The compilation of Mali music, compiled by French journalist and Grammy-nominated compiler Florent Mazzoleni, known as an expert on African music, and Mr. Bongo's David Battle, is now back! The 1970s was a decade of maturation after Mali's independence, and the release of anthologies and regional music works helped to spread contemporary Malian culture throughout the world. This was a very rich period in Mali's musical history, as state-sponsored bands and orchestras began to be recorded and documented by sound engineers. Mali has always had a tradition of telling diverse stories through music, and each state and ethnic group has its own unique characteristics and nuances. Meanwhile, as Western sounds drifted across the Atlantic, Malian musicians began to be influenced by artists such as John Lee Hooker, Wilson Pickett, Johnny Pacheco, Celia Cruz, and James Brown. Most of the bands also resorted to playing in hotels in Bamako, Mali's capital, where they naturally honed their sound. Guests were eager to hear foreign styles and modern instrumental influences, and the fusion of Western ideas with traditional Malian rhythms and organic instruments led to unparalleled musical excellence. The miraculous tracks that resulted, a raw cover version of Pickett's soul/R&B classic "In The Midnight Hour" and "Get Up James," reminiscent of James Brown's funk, are also included on this album. A detailed booklet explaining the history and importance of the tracks written by Florent Mazzoleni is also enclosed. It is also the perfect guide to the fascinating, profound, and haunting music that emerged from Mali during this period. *CD version comes with unique cover image artwork. includes booklet with extensive liner notes from Florent Mazzoleni.
