Great musicians, the effects used on that traditional instrument enriched the sound, awesome percussionists, and that voice......this session just made my week...
I heard them live three years ago at the Lowell Folk Festival. They were absolutely amazing and mesmerizing. Incredible the sounds they get from those folk instruments.
This is like perfection on a different level
Amazing Malian shredders. I saw them a couple years back and it turned into a huge dance party in front of the stage. It was mostly people from Mali, turns out Bassekou's family have been royal musicians for generations. Oh yea and he can shred guitar like Hendrix and has a son who isn't too far behind.
I love how much fun they're having jamming away and creating such gorgeous melodies
and they're not even jamming I think
roy_for_real exactly. there’s like three kouyatés, they’re from an old maliness line of griot performers. for all we know, these “jams” might be made up of renditions of century-old songs. but you’re right, the melodies are gorgeous!
These guys play tight as hell
sounds from the motherland. Amazing
Great music and a really good interview. First-class broadcasting. Thanks.
Enchanting, magical, incredibly soothing! Grateful to you all for sharing your talents ❤️
It's August and "Ba Power" is still at the top of my personal Album-of-the-year-list of 2015. Absolutely gorgeous!
I love their use of (presumably mali traditional) microtonal scales, check out that interval at 24:55. This band is great in so many ways
This is so beautiful. Sounds like a faster Tinariwen.
Thanks Bassekou for your inspiration. See u at the top! From a brother who really appreciate your work and thank God to have blessed you with so much gifts, talents and abilities. Keep flourishing!
wow this really takes off when the vocals kick in!
+Rene Perez She's Bassekou Kouyate's wife, by the way.
Coco The Killa that's awesome. Thanks for the info friend :)
Du vrai swing !!!!!! Des textes de chants simples mais très instructifs. Bravo les gars.
Avec des amis, nous en avons eu plein pour tout le week end. Un grand merci pour le MALI !!!!!!
Encore je tire chapeau grand frère bassékou, toujours toujours le même
Outstanding solos! I don't know the instruments they are playing, but they are brilliant at playing them!
Hypnotic, stunning,
The Jimi Hendrix of Africa!

First track sounds like King of Limbs.
no, king of limbs sounds like the first track.
they're inspired by Fela Kuti, sounds alike
como se llama la primera cancion es lo mejor
👍👍👍👍💕💪👏👏👏
La meilleure musique c'est ce qu'on entend
Wow. Way better than that Jimmy fallon band.

1st it's so hard to play these instruments cause they don't have frets, second they don't really play chords, so they kind of play solos all the time
Brilliant live performance. Nice information about the inspiration for the album. Is this a public radio station? The host comes across as kind of an amateur.
captop12 The host never pretends to be familiar with or even a student of the music. The host and this remarkable station put a wide variety of music in the world frequently unfamiliar to so many listeners. A Godsend.
Whose here from Tiktok
why do they put black tape on their instruments ?
Alejandro Barboza
Alejandro Barboza Likely to tape down contact microphones on their instruments.
+Turner McDougal The other plausible reason would be to reduce the overtone due to resonance of the skin (drummers do that on their drum kits).
But I think it's more for a mic'ing reason, they don't seem too picky about those kind of things.
To hide the brand of the instruments due to copyright issues :) Just joking! :)
text message at 10:45 lool
nice weed music
A little inspiration from some good cannabis me thinks
Very skilled..but stiff host.
Damn! Compare this to the junk played on the USA stations.
