Rail Band
32,126 plays (9,635 listeners)
The band performed regularly at the Buffet Bar at the Station Hotel in Bamako, performing Manding music. The band performs traditional-style music, using kora and balafon with Islamic-style vocals and elements of Latin music, in the Bambara language.
The Rail Band’s lead singer at its inception was Salif Keita, and the group soon became a training ground for many of Mali’s most popular performers, like singer Mory Kanté and guitarist Kante Manfila. Guitarist Djelimady Tounkara has been a member of the band for most of its history.
