Bounaly
Dimanche A Bamako
First heard by global audiences on Sahel Sounds' 'Music From Saharan WhatsApp' series, Malian guitarist Bounaly (the stage name of Ali "Bounaly" Traore) makes his full-length debut with 'Dimanche A Bamako' ("Sunday in Bamako"). Recorded live on location, the music on the album is a mix of regional favorites, traditional standards and originals. Long songs with looping rhythms, pounding kicks and electric shredding guitar. A raw and frenetic take on northern Mali desert sound, playing for the diaspora at a Bamako wedding..
