Various Artists - African Pearls: Mali 70, Electric Mali 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is my favourite African Pearls compilation along with Guinee, The Discotheque Years. Here\'s a chance to listen to the great bands of Mali from that glorious period before synthesisers and programming ruined everything. Super Rail Band, National Badema, Super Biton, Mopti, Super Djata, Les Ambassadeurs and with them Salif Keita, Kante Manfila, Kasse Mady Diabate, Djelimady Tounkara, Zani Diabate, Sorry Bamba... you name it - la crema de la crema, as we say in Spanish. Enjoy! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Review - While Stern\'s marches forward with its stellar series of classic Congolese, Guinean and Malian music from the golden era (much of which we have not heard before), Sylla seems to reissue his back catalogue and throw in a few tracks from other labels to sweeten the pot. But the newest take on Mali in the ongoing African Pearls series is more than a repackaging job. I examined the playlist before laying down mega moolah on it, and I was surprised to find I only have a third of the tracks. But I was suspicious because Sylla has a history of mislabelling tracks, and at $30, including tax, it\'s a big investment in 2 rather dubious pieces of plastic. Remember when CDs first appeared in 1983? The marketers said they were going to be cheaper than LPs but they were immediately more expensive. They don\'t last as long and no one ever properly addressed the reduced scale of the package to make the information accessible. Perhaps the era of the CD is already over, to be replaced by virtual music. In future, no two records will be the same. From this set, I would have preferred to download the tracks I wanted and burn a disc to avoid the overlap with other CDs in my Mali shelf. The first track \"Duga\" by Orchestre Regional de Kayes is grandiose and declamatory: the singer is almost admonishing you, over a restrained riff, until the electric guitar comes sliding in from the thinnest of thin blue pre-dusk twilight heavens, plaintively ordering the drums. Then the singer commands the sax to appear, very magisterially. This selection comes from a Barenreiter release (as does \"Boro\" by Orchestre Regional de Mopti, which is B4 here), and reminds me again how I wish someone would do a CD box set of those 15 Barenreiter albums that tell the story of the origin of these youth bands. I have a handful of them on vinyl, but I am missing some (I am sure Barenreiter has outtakes and other goodies, if their vaults are at all organized), and as a compulsive collector and completist I want it all. Malian music (like that of its neighbour Guinée, so well documented by Graeme Counsel on the Stern\'s Authenticité series) was reborn at Independence in 1968 with the griots going electric and the new black president organizing a biennial battle of the bands to bring the great talents out of the bush. Orchestre Regional de Ségou won the first biennial, in July 1970, and after guitarist Mama Sissoko defected from Regional de Kayes to join them, they went on to win three more times, changing their name to Super Biton de Ségou. One of the rarities is the 1973 Panorama du Mali LP, which featured two songs by Orch. Regional de Sikasso, \"Labanka\" & \"Tiebaou,\" both collected here. \"Badialame,\" by the Rail Band, is from the same source. Rail Band fans will be glad to hear two obscure 45s by them from 1973, \"Tamadiara\" and \"Nanthan.\" \"Janfa\" by Orchestre National A previously came out on Stern\'s Legendary Bands of Mali, another essential compilation. The two Orchestre Regional de Ségou tracks \"Saajuru\" & \"Sisine,\" and two National Badema songs were on Syllart\'s Mali Stars and were also in his Belle Epoque CD series. Among new bands, there is Bida de la Capitale (I don\'t think it was fronted by Zim Bida, but who knows?) with an organ-driven instrumental groover and percussion that sounds like a steam press. The sax is a bit warbly, due to the poor recording. But the compensations include a smoking Ambassadeurs single from 1976: \"M\'bouram-mousso.\" And to think this was a B side! As the fractured-english liner notes explain: \"The Ambassadeurs was founded in 1969 under the aegis of police officer Tiekoro Bagayogo who wanted his share of nightlife excitation.\" Disc one ends with total strangers Le Mystère Jazz de Tombouctou, an earnest and credible entry; but they deliver a blindingly great number on disc two, \"Leli,\" guaranteeing some of that nightlife excitation. The big names, Badema, Sikasso, Ségou, dominate this compilation, which ranks high among classic African reissues. -- muzikifan.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Track List Disc 1 01 - Orchestre Regional de Kayes - Duga 02 - Orchestre Regional de Sikasso - Labankan 03 - Rail Band - Badialame 04 - Bida de la Capitale - Kenuna 05 - Super Djata Band - Sosso 06 - Kanaga de Mopti - N\'do n\'do 07 - Sid de Kayes - Moyola 08 - Rail Band - Tamadiara 09 - Le Super Biton National de Segou - Saajuru 10 - Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako - Mbouran Mousso 11 - Rail Band - Nanthan 12 - Le Mystere Jazz de Tombouctou - Wale Tarekk Apolo Disc 2 01 - Idrissa Soumaoro - Djama 02 - Le Kene Star de Sikasso - Hodi Hu Yenyan 03 - Ciwara Band - Noumou Lakouloumba 04 - Orchestre Regional de Mopti - Boro 05 - Le Mystere Jazz de Tombouctou - Leli 06 - National Badema - Ciro 07 - Le Super Biton de Segou - Siseni 08 - Super Djata Band - Tiefaly 09 - L\'Orchestre National \'A\' du Mali - Janfa 10 - Orchestre Regional de Sikasso - Tiebaou 11 - National Badema - Guede 12 - Kanaga de Mopti - Kulukutu * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * EAC log and CUE sheet included.
