Hello,

 

Here's a 45 with Bamako's Rail Band's unreleased material including an incredible cover of James Brown's 'Sex Machine' and a young Salif Keita's voice on a more traditional song on the B-side.

 

You can listen to the tracks here and maybe buy them.https://rocafortrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sex-machine-b-w-massar-mousso-45-record

 

You can also send me a pm.

 

Best,

 

Phil

Great 45 - just bought a copy a couple of days ago. Like the flip very much indeed - very much in line with the Dakar sound I'm familiar with through the music of the wonderful Orchestra Baobab.

 

Big thumbs-up all round.  :thumbsup:

Records received safely today, Phil. Thanks!

 

And do excuse me - for some unknown reason I thought the Rail Band came out of Dakar/Senegal. Having read the notes on the card that came with the 45, I see now that it's actually neighbouring Mali!

 

Regardless, two great tunes.

 

Cheers!

Good news Russell!

 

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Yes, Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako & Rail Band, both bands are from Mali.

 

Cheers,
