Electro Bamako

Description

Mamani Keita & Marc Minelli- Electro BamakoThis cross-cultural fascination with Mali goes one step further on Electro-Bamako, by Mamani Keita and Marc Minelli. The CD, to be released in the U.S. on Palm Pictures on May 6, 2003, uses techniques from Techno, but with an entirely different feel and instrumentation. The project emerged when Marc Antoine Moreau, the Paris-based manager of Amadou and Mariam, suggested that Minelli integrate his computer adventures with the incredible voice of a former backing singer for Salif Keita. “Mainly this is the record of a music fan who’s received beautiful Malian songs for Christmas as gifts to build around,” explains Minelli. “We didn’t meet much with Mamani at the beginning. It was more like a ‘ping pong’ relationship with tapes: gimme your songs and I’ll bring it back with arrangements. Fortunately, though she was very surprised when she listened the first time, she was interested, and I think she liked it very much because it was an alternative to the music she was into for years, but also it respected every detail of it.
