BKO Bamako, Mali
BKO is a fresh and modern super-quintet from MALI which performs an electrified and danceable set of Malian
music.
Associating the guitar of griots with the lute of Bambara hunters had never been undertaken before in the Malian music universe. It is indeed two opposite worlds that BKO have decided to bring up together in order to develop a resolutely urban music style rooted in secular tradition

Sweet As Broken Dates: Lost Somali Tapes from the Horn of Africa
by Various Artists
supported by 12 fans who also own “MALI FOLI COURA”
East African music does not get the same kind of attention as our fellow West and South Africans. Especially the music from the Horn. This is some of the most interesting East American music out there. Lots of left turns, quirky sounds and beautiful, emotionally driven singing. The melodies are relaxed and pleasant. They'll make you smile and feel at home.

Senegal 70 - Sonic Gems & Previously Unreleased Recordings from the 70s
by Various
supported by 8 fans who also own “MALI FOLI COURA”
What a wonderful surprise it was to hear the Cuban song "El Carretero" on an album of Senegalese music! I'm familiar with the song from a modern hiphop-ified version on Putumayo's "Latin Groove" CD but this older, more traditional recording is pretty special in its own right. There are so many other great songs here, too.
