Koumbe Diara
Glittery and glammed out Manding pop from Guinea, perfectly balanced between traditional and modern persuasions. Vocals cut sharp, kora never dull, everything else falls into place / makes you want to dance. Don't stop.

Glad to see your blog is still alive.
How about posting some of your dj sets for those of us who live in the boondocks?

Thanks, Brian. Looking forward to hearing these mixtapes.
Hope you can keep this blog alive. So many of our friends have been shutdown. It's very sad.
Forgive me for being anonymous. In times like these it just seems prudent.
Long live ATFA!

Mama Diabate has a CD on the great Popular African Music (PAM) label.
'Koffi Cola Na Yo'. Some wonderful guitar and keyboards, topped off with Mama's vocal.
She's also on another beautiful acoustic CD on the same label. 'Donkili Diarabi' by Les Soeurs Diabate - that's Mama, Sayon and Sona Diabate.
