About this title: Amadou & Mariam, the blind couple from Mali, have certainly paid their dues over the last 30 years, and it's about time they received their big break. Certainly given the excellent reviews in Europe, Dimanche a Bamako could be it, thanks to the production and participation by the elf prince of world music, Manu Chao.

Description: BRAND NEW. Amadou and Mariam are a middle-aged blind couple from Mali who have been singing and playing together since the 1970s, when they met at a school for the blind in Bamako.

"Husband and wife Amadou Bagayoko and Mariam Doumbia did it again, this time with the help of Manu Chao. Those already enamored with the King and Queen of Malian pop will easily recognize Mr. Chao's pen, such as on Camions Sauvages and Politic Amagni, but the more stellar tunes—Artistiya, Coulibaly, La Réalité, and La Fête au Village—belong to them. Neither pure rock or pure Malian music they are somewhere in between and much more. Their production, musicianship, songwriting, and confluence of musical textures from here there and everywhere never fail in producing great tunes, and as always Amadou demonstrates his capacity for a mean guitar lick. If you are new to Amadou et Mariam’s music, start here and follow up with “Sou Ni Tile” and “Tje Ni Mousso”, and so on. Highly recommended!"
