Apologies
Apologies for the image quality of these three videos. But certainly not for the music. The videos have in common, besides the fact that they all feature great artists from Mali, that they are all too good not to share.
The drive, the passion and the unadulterated fun of the Ambassadeurs, the refined dancing combined with the brilliant vocals by Alou Fané and Flani Sangaré plus the unique talent of Zani Diabaté, the soul-piercing singing by Mah Damba backed by her late husband Mamaye Kouyaté: they are hard to surpass.
More soon...

Good to see you back, Stefan
ahh Mah Damba, she was young!
do you have maybe the Djongolony-song
she sung at about the same time on video, too?
Best
A.
thank you, great music.
GREAT! Thank you!
Thank you, excellent! Mah Damba and her late husband had a beautiful synergy, It was thanks to them that I fell in love with the ngoni.
We are the ones to apologize! And to thank, and to envy you: knowing Fané and Sangaré (I am not even mentioning Diabaté!!!) was quite a privilege! Besides the music, I wish I could dance like they did! Truly special post...
Abraços, and thanks once more, Fabricio.
No apologies necessary--every one of these is a treasure.
