    One of the most pivotal figures in the history of Malian music is Sorry Bamba. His work spans five decades and his music bridges the gap between Mali's cultural traditions and new the music which arose from the musical cross overs which occurred in Mali's post-Colonial period. 

    In 1957 Sorry formed his first band, Group Goumbe, named after a popular Ivory Coast dance style. In 1960 Mali gained independence from France, Bamba and his group benefited from a new openness toward local music on the state-run radio network Radio Mali. Sorry then went on to form two award-winning, further collectives Bani Jazz and later the Kanaga Orchestra. They fused Latin jazz, Western R&B, Psychadelic and funk, and traditional Malian styles made them a favourite in Mali and beyond.

    In 1979 Sorry produced his third LP for the Paris based Sonafric group - 'Du Mali'. This 6 track masterpiece fuses pulsating rhythms, powerful expansive drums, with psych guitar and punchy horns to create a masterpiece of up-tempo African psychedelia.

    Highly sought after and extremely rare.

    We love this!!!!
