Souleymane Sidibe

 

SOULEYMANE SIDIBE/BADEYA FOLI

no label, no date, GD052

One of  thousands of tapes in circulation in Mali's music shops and markets. It was brought back by a friend.
There is absolutely no information about this tape. Surely Sidibe can play the kamele n'goni is holding on the cover and he's the main singer. The mixing of old traditional instruments with synthetizers and other Western instruments has been the rule for a lot of singers/musicians. The kamele n'goni (the ''instrument of young men'') is mainly played in the Wassoulou region and is now very present in what is called the revival of Wassoulou music. 
There are in fact eleven tracks but only eight of them have a name.
