*BRAND NEW / 10" VINYL*

Description

A mysterious two-song release, licensed directly from a group of Bamako musicians who, with the exception of the souku master Zoumana Tereta, choose to remain anonymous. These two Black Mango tracks are ethereal, hard-to-classify artifacts, seemingly influenced in equal parts by Ali Farka Touré and Lou Reed. In fact, the titles of the songs name-check Reed's compositions, though they are clearly not cover versions, as much as explorations on themes. Zoumana Tereta is a legend of Malian music, having played his sokou, a single-string, horse-hair violin, on albums by Oumou Sangaré, Bassekou Kouyaté, Samba Touré, the National Ensemble Instrumental du Mali, and many others.
