The Story
Malian guitar sorcery of the highest order. Connecting Wasulu hunter music, griot praises, Senufo pastoral dances, Fula and Mandingo repertoire alongside western psychedelia, blues, and afro-beat, Zani Diabaté's Super Djata Band was among Mali's top orchestras of the 1980s. For their 1981 album, the Bamako-based orchestra discovers the wah-wah pedal, delivering six mind-ravishing guitar workouts for the proletariat.
