Producer: Kassy Made Diabate
Local pressing of Malian star’s breakthrough album, first released in
1989. "Kasse Mady Diabate can retrace his origins to the 13th century,
when his ancestor Morykaba Diabate was fighting along with the great Sunjata.
Seven centuries of history have provided him with a rich musical tradition,
lyrics heavy with symbols and images, and a perfect vocal training. A griot by
birth, Kasse Mady was requested in '72 to join the Badema, Mali's national
orchestra. From then on, he has led a double career, as a griot and as a singer
with a modern band".
