Mamadou Kelly and Ban Kai Na:
Rapturous Desert Guitar of Mali

 Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments



Mamadou Kelly and Ban Kai Na at the Basement in Nashville TN on July 15, 2016 (video still by Chris Nolan).

Superb self-taught singer / guitarist Mamadou Kelly, from the heart of northern Mali’s blues delta, carries on the captivating style he honed playing with the late great Ali Farka Toure.

He joins us tonight with his stellar ensemble Ban Kai Na, on tour - with stops at Joe's Pub on Wednesday July 27th and Union Pool on Wednesday August 10th - in support of Mamadou's splendid new album Djamila (Clermont Music).

Massive thanks to Chris Nolan of Clermont Music, bringing the captivating desert sounds of northern Mali to the world, and our illustrious engineers Gil Shuster and Guy Weltchek!

Great show so far tonight, Rob! I didn't comment earlier because I was in the backyard pool with a remote speaker but no smart device. Now taking the bike for a quick spin in the short time span between the thermometer dropping below 90 and darkness.

Thanks Ken, enjoy the ride!
