One for the trivia nerds! ': ,: :, : aba Commandant And The Mandingo Band return with their second : :' album, Siri Ba Kele. After the Afro-beat fury of their first ': ,: album Juguya (2015), the band has now distilled a potent mix of :, : traditional and modern Burkinabe funk with a reverent take on : :' the iconic Mandingue guitar music of the 1970's. Mamadou Sanou ': ,: (Baba Commandant) leads the band with a confidence earned from :, : years of toiling in the DIY underground of the West African : :' music scene. His riveting growl and main instrument, the doso ': ,: n'goni, still strike with a profound delivery. The band's :, : guitarist, Issouf Diabate, is on board again and his : :' breathtaking guitar work is one of the greatest examples of the ': ,: instrument displayed in modern times. Massibo Taragna (bass) and :, : Mohamed Sana (drums) are simply one of the finest rhythm : :' sections working today, each a master on his instrument and the ': ,: chops displayed here are truly something to behold. The band has :, : become an interlocking five-headed hydra of complex funk and : :' cosmic guitar explosions. Recorded in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso ': ,: in February 2018 by Camille Louvel and mixed with SF's Hisham :, : Mayet, the Mandingo Band's sophomore LP is a modern statement of : :' searing Sahelian compositions. It stands shoulder-to-shoulder ': ,: with such classics as Super Biton De Segou (1977), Kanaga De :, : Mopti (1977), Les Ambassadeurs Internationaux (1981) and the : :' mighty Rail Band.
