Title:
African Pearls Vol.3 One Day on Radio Mali



Details:
'African Pearls' having checked out Congo And GuinTe with a 2CD of each now looks at the rich powerhouse of Mali. All starts with the genius of Ibrahima Sylla a prolific producer of West African music fOted by Charlie Gillett as 'The African Phil Spector' This collection of pearls covers the period 1965-1985 much of this long before the coining of the term World Music And preceding by over a decade the real discovery by Western audiences of the 'Mali sound' And the desert Blues phenomenon. This great set goes to show that none of this is really new; that the sound was fermenting decades ago And that the message was already strong it's just that the voice did not carry far enough first time round.
