Amadou & Mariam - Welcome to Mali
Mali’s blind husband-and-wife duo is a true phenomenon. Their first album, produced by Manu Chao, sold more than half a million copies in France alone. They’ve toured with Scissor Sisters and appeared at Lollapalooza. Their latest album features one track produced by Gorillaz maestro Damon Albarn and guest appearances by Toumani Diabate and Somali-Canadian MC K’naan. Whether singing over Diabate’s entrancing kora, K’naan’s playful rap or Albarn’s futuristic keyboards, they perform, hypnotically, as one.
