It is almost nine years ago, time sure flies don’t you think ?
The GG existed only five months when I posted the Rail Band
in october 2008. It was an album on Globe Style from 1982 and
contained two of the songs we also find on today’s record. I think
this one was used to make the Globe Style album, it had the same
pictures as well, even when the original volumes one & two were
released in 1983. Anyway, two of the songs on this one are new
to us, listen and enjoy, I think they are just awesome..
P.S. the sound is extremely good,
part from one tic in track four.

Zo’n negen jaar is het alweer geleden, de GG bestond net vijf
maanden toen ik de Rail Band plaatste. Het was een album op
Globe Style uit 1982. De plaat bevatte twee nummers die ook
op dit album staan. Ik denk dat deze aan de andere ten oorsprong
heeft gelegen, ook al kwamen de originele volumes 1 & 2 pas uit in
1983. er staan tevens de zelfde fotootjes op. In ieder geval vinden
we vandaag twee nummers die we nog niet hadden, luister zelf,
ze zijn niet te versmaden naar mijn bescheiden mening..
P.S. het geluid is buitengewoon goed, los
van één plek in het vierde nummer.

tracks ;

01 – Diabate
02 – Mali yo
03 – Bedianamogo
04 – Gna gna

We hebben tot nu toe reeds zo’n vijf van hum albums gezien.
Telkens in veranderde samenstelling en uit verschillende
periodes. Dit exemplaar is uit 1977 en met Salif Keita en
Ousmane Dia als front zangers. Hij kraakt en knispert wel
een beetje maar dat mag de beleving er toch niet minder
op maken. Ik hoop op een mooie dag een betere versie
te vinden, tot die tijd, geniet van dit Malinese oudje..

We had some five of their albums so far here at the GG.
From different periods and in different line-ups. The one
we have here today is from 1977 and presents Salif Keita
and Ousmane Dia as lead singers. I must say it does have
some snap, crackle and pops but that can’t spoil the
nice atmosphere. I hope to find a better copy some
day but for now..enjoy this Malinese oldie..

How long has it been since I posted music from Mali ?
Too long I’d say. This is the Rail Band, we had several
of their records already, use our search-bar to find them.
This one is from 1976, some very nice tracks of which
I like number two the best, with Mory Kante and Salif
Keita both doing their part. Enjoy listening..

tracks;

01 – Kankoun
02 – Tiramakan
03 – Soyomba
04 – Soundiata ( nouvelle version )

Wow, now I come to realise, it is almost a year and a half
since I posted us some music from Mali. This one by the
great Super Rail Band will surely make up for that long
hiatus. It is a bit worn out and some noise is inevitable.
..dusty tracks, still, I really love to listen to it, it has
great atmosphere, with Mory Kante from 1977.
Hope you enjoy, get it
& spread it..

tracks;

1 Sinsimba
2 Balakononifing

It’s been a while since we had us some music from Mali.
Mamadi Diabate and Les Ambassadeurs are here to
fill in the gap. I am absolutely not the one to tell you
all about these musicians but I do know one thing,
this is a hell of a record and worth a couple of
spins. I’m sure it will make your sunday.
Don’t forget, play and spread..
