Rodolphe Raffalli - A Georges Brassens, Vol. 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

When one listens to the songs of George Brassens, explains Rodolphe, it's an obviousness that the Quintet of Hot Club of France could have played that. One did not pay attention too much during his living, because people were attracted by the texts, but it's musics are fabulous. They are in the head of people and, moreover, they sound jazz.

Connecting Wasulu hunter music, griot praises, Senufo pastoral dances, Fula and Mandingo repertoire alongside Western psychedelia, blues and afro-beat, Zani Diabaté's Super Djata Band was among Mali's top orchestras of the 1980s. On their 1982 album, Diabaté enshrines himself within the pantheon of mythical West African guitarists, hypnotically picking through eight vivid compositions on his path to godhead status.
