About Mamadou Diabate:

Mamadou Diabate is an award-winning balafon master and composer born in Burkina Faso. He comes from a traditional “Jeli” family of musicians and storytellers of the Sambla people and began his professional training at the age of five with his father Penegue Diabate, who was considered the best balafon player beyond the borders of the Sambla culture. Mamadou Diabate & Percussion Mania has a unique lineup with two balafons as lead instruments, delivering spectacular balafon duels between Mamadou and his cousin Yacouba Konate. They won the Grand Prix of the "Triangle du Balafon" competition in Mali (2012) and Diabate was made Knight of the National Order of Burkina Faso (2017).

Hello. That Las one was an absolutely gorgeous song! Diggin this too
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:57pm coelacanth∅:

is this a cover of a moody blues song? or was the moody blues song "borrowing" from this?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:57pm coelacanth∅:

(year of release?)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:59pm coelacanth∅:

oh, released long after the moodys' song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:13pm coelacanth∅:

correction...not that i assume anyone cares! but the Ashe Bhosle/Mohammed Rafi song was released no later than 1963; so the moody blues (& their producer) stole the melody. (not surprising, as they also didn't give Arthur Lee credit for the main melody of nights in white satin, which they also stole)
