Guitarist Amadou Bagayoko and singer Mariam Doumbia met in a school for the blind as kids in Mali. They have been touring steadily for the past twenty years and their stock in trade is a kind of a loose synthesis, a taste for combining Mali guitar pop with whatever else appeals to them. The reggae and pop you sort of expect, but the forays into high-energy dance feel unique. In the same rough cultural zone as Manu Chao and his various sandwiches of sound.
