Rail Band - Kaira (Mali, 1970s)

Just can't seem to get away from Mali recently. Here's an early recording of the Rail Band (1972-3), collected on the second volume of the Belle Epoque collection. The sound -- a kind of world-weary mysticism -- is distinctively Malian, as opposed to the more rumba or afrobeat efforts they also recorded. Djelimady Sissoko is handling the vocals rather than the main vocalist Mory Kanté.
