Africa > Mali > Amadou et Mariam // Amadou et Mariam![]() © D.R. // Amadou et Mariam
"Amadou and Mariam, the blind couple of Mali" : for years that has been their slogan. The duo produces music that mixes traditional Mali sound with rock guitars, Syrian violins, Cuban trumpets, Egyptian ney, Columbian trombones, Indian tablas and Dogon percussion. All these elements put together make an infectious mix of funky Afro-blues, punchy and pleasant to listen to. In 2004, they brought out Dimanche à Bamako, a collaboration with Manu Chao that went gold in France. It also bagged a “Victoires de la Musique” award 2005, a recompense for the couple’s courage and the faith put in them by the newly-born French label Because. // REVIEWS
