Rail Band, Belle Epoque Vol. 3 - Dioba


Rail Band, Belle Epoque Vol 3
showcases post-colonial West African musicians celebrating their cultural legacies which featured world music stars to be Salif Keita and Mory Kante. It is a buoyant interplay of percussion, bass, horns, brass, voices and multiple electric guitars that will take you on a journey through the roots of Mandigo heritage.

Rail band presents a selection of tracks recorded between 1970 and 1983 documenting a blend of Congolese Rumba, Latin music and folklore tradition.

This double-cd testifies the stylistic openness of Malian music, one not to be missed.
