More Info:

3rd and final volume in the critically-acclaimed series that tells the 13-year story - from 1970 to 1983 - of Mali's legendary group. In 1970s Africa, the Rail Band was THE band against which all others were measured. Compiled by renowned producer Ibrahim Sylla and carefully remastered from the original tapes, these tracks range from impassioned epic guitar workouts to chugging afrobeat, jaunty adverts for skin cream and arrangements influenced by the Hindi Bollywood films that were so popular throughout Africa at the time. These albums feature seminal performances by such stars as Salif Keita, Mory Kante, Djelimady Tounkara & Djelimady Sissoko.
