L’Orchestre National ‘A’ de la Républiquedu Mali, Musicaphon 1970

Just after becoming independent in 1970, Mali’s young musicians
started to form a National Orchestra. Since there were much more
good players than needed, they formed A, B and C orchestras.
This was the first of them all, lead by multi-instrumentalist
‘Kélétigui Diabate’. On his West African travels he learned to play
guitar, trumpet, flute, saxophone and counter-bass. He plays the
guitar on this LP. We heard tracks 3 and 5 on the Mali Collector
some time ago already, now here’s also the rest of the only album
ever recorded by this group.

tracks;

1 Malamini
2 Taara
3 Janfa
4 Son t’aw la
5 Duga
6 Saakoba
7 Nonsi komotigi
8 Ciwaara

    Apparently the filename is too long or so – the download is okay but you have to rename the file by just add extension “.rar”. Then you can simply unpack it !

    Pour Stéphane de la Guyanne française.

    Après avoir dl l’album, renomme le fichier et ajoute l’extension .rar manquante(le nom de fichier posté est trop long, c’est pour ça qu’elle n’apparait pas).

    Et tu pourras dézipper le fichier sans problème.

    Hello Moos!
    Something to be mended again:
    ”L’Orchestre National ‘A’ de la Républiquedu Mali, Musicaphon 1970”

    The link guides you to the deleted file in mediafire.
    Would you please repair it.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Moos!
    Have downloaded the file successfully. Whosoever is interested in malian music should download and to take some time to study the music. This tracks contain everthing which became developed by much more prominent malian musicians later.

    Many thanks for your service again
