Label GB

a four track album of rare malian dance music from the 70's. between 1978 and 1979, the rail band orchestra left bamako, capital city of mali, for a tour in abidjan, ivory coast, west africa. this was an inspired move from their former manager burkinabe mady sanfo, as this trip would be the starting point of international careers for artists such as mory kant (rail band's lead singer since salif keita's departure in 1972), cheikh tidiane seck (piano and organ), band leader tidiani kon (saxophone and trumpet) or djelimady tounkara (lead guitar). it also gave a new breath to the 10 year old rail band orchestra.
