Be prepared to hear West African guitar playing at its finest. The band blends funk, rock, and even reggae influences with drum and bass lockups, merging Mali’s musical heritage with global sounds. While the lead vocals are compelling, it’s the band’s guitar-driven energy that steals the show, dazzling audiences with the exceptional skill of its guitarists.”” — Tom Or (The Beat, Global Rhythm) “Now while we were glued to our seats during The Breath, we were wild on our feet during the set from Bamako, Mali’s Bamba Wassoulou Groove. Led by three guitarists, notably Moussa Diabaté of Super Rail Band fame, the rest of the band are young, highly energetic players. Originally formed in 2013, was organized by Bamba Dembélé, co-founder of the influential Super Djata Band of the 1980’s, and who passed away in 2018. But the band lives on and the crowd in the venue went wild. A conga line of at least fifty participants wiggled and weaved its way through dance floor. If you want to spend a night burning unwanted calories, catch this group wherever and whenever you can.”— Afropop Worldwide
