| Notes: |
Super Rail Band de Bamako, Mali. The band is sponsored by the National Railway Company of Mali and fuse American Jazz and Latin Rumba with the native traditions of the Manding people. One of Africa's greatest bands and principal nurturers of local talent. Both Salif Keita and Mory Kante did stints as lead vocalists before going onto to pursue solo careers. Their successors included the immensely talented Makan Ganess, Lafira Diabat? and the present lead singers Damory Kouyat? and Samba Sissoko.
The Super Rail Band is also the home of Djelimady Tounkara, one of Mali's most accomplished guitarists. |
