Bamako, Mali
Amadou and Mariam are a musical duo from Mali, composed of the couple Mariam Doumbia (vocals) (born in Mali’s capital Bamako 15 April 1958) and Amadou Bagayoko (guitar and vocals) (born in Bamako 24 October 1954). The pair, known as “the blind couple from Mali” met at Mali’s Institute for the Young Blind, and found they shared an interest in music.
The duo produces music that mixes traditional Mali sound with rock guitars, Syrian violins, Cuban trumpets, Egyptian ney, Colombian trombones, Indian tablas and Dogon percussion. All these elements put together have been referred to as “afro-blues”.
In 2004 they put out an acclaimed album produced by Manu Chao.
In 2006 they were acknowledged with BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music in the two categories: Africa and Album of the Year (for the “Dimanche à Bamako” release).

yea i agree with jimpy7107 lol, i don't give a fuck what continent that they're from. they just make good music. unfortunately the fact that they're from Mali has essentially pigeonholed them as "that african band" for the most part.

Saw them live tonight in Malmö and they were great. Really great! So if you get the opportunity to see them live don't hesitate to do it. You won't regret it.

Saw them when they opened for Blur- So much better than I could have imagined! Love pretty much everything they've done but I'm surprised about 'Africa' being so far down the list!
