I sat in a barber's shop in Mali as our tyres were being repaired after two flats in the Sahel coming from the Festival au Desert at timbuktu...men in turbans filing in each receiving number ones...shaking my hand as they filed out...a jukebox playing extraordinary distorted blues. I asked the barber in my broken French to write down the artist and he wrote JELY MOUSSA...been looking for it ever since. Then years later I discover this...gotta research to discover if the artist was DJELI MOUSSA DIAWARA and if this is the Album.
I have always like Djeli Mousa Diawara
