More Info:

A mighty second serving of classic work from Rail Band - one of the biggest musical forces in Mali during the 1970s. Rolling savannah rhythms, exotic instrumentation, and hypnotic production, these key 70s tracks feature vocals from the legendary Salif Keita, Mory Kant and Djelimady Sissoko. Compiled by the famed producer and entrepreneur Ibrahim Sylla, these 2 CDs features a full-colour, 20-page booklet with notes detailing the history of the band plus full-page reproductions of original album covers.

Reviews:

Master Malian guitarist Djelimady Tounkara and his band, a longstanding Bamako institution, are treated to a second two-disc compilation by Stern’s. These 18 cuts from the 1970s are uniformly stellar, with occasional vocals Salif Keita and Mory Kante just icing on the cake.
