about

“Mali, Niger & Algeria are producing some of the planet’s most vital rock music – BKO are Immensely rough & tough” (Rolling Stone)

“A fierce modern take on traditional Malian music” (Songlines)

Blending the sounds of the rural djelingoni with the urban donsongoni, BKO combine the Bamana and Mande Griot traditions with a percussive, over-driven aesthetic that pulls them into a more experimental realm, producing an urgent sound that is equally at home in the bars of Bamako and forward-thinking clubs outside of their home country.

We're taking a trip into a "subterranean" world, a world of meanings hidden behind the appearance of things, a world of symbols where everything signifies something, where everything speaks to those who know how to hear.

Nous allons entreprendre un voyage dans un monde "souterrain", le monde des significations cachées derrière l'apparence des choses, le monde des symboles où tout est signifiant, où tout parle pour qui sait entendre.

Sweet As Broken Dates: Lost Somali Tapes from the Horn of Africa

supported by 11 fans who also own “MALI FOLI COURA”

An outstanding compilation, brilliantly conceived and curated, with an excellent digital booklet, too. I really hope that a 2nd volume will follow! Given the fact that "The Ostinato Records team digitized a large portion of the archive" of the Red Sea Cultural Foundation, I am confident that it will happen. I think the euphoria of the press is not too much of an exaggeration: "Perhaps the most beautiful music in the world, finally rediscovered." (Radio Nova Paris) Ordinary Joe
