Baba Salah - Gao

Baba Salah Cissé is one of the most accomplished guitar virtuosos in Mali Most of you are more than familiar with his guitar sound ,heard in numerous recordings of Oumou Sangare,Ibrahim Hamma Dicko,Sidi Touré ,etc and of course almost everywhere in Mali through heavy airplay . His 2 records that I'm aware of,Gao and Borey are a mixture of Malian pop,"blues-rock",and Songhai sound. via GET GAO HERE ...i have to say the song that roped me in is from the great site "Awesome Tapes From Africa". Check it out. there you can save mp3's and as for this artist i highly suggest "Mofotu"!(from Baba Salah "Borey"lp)
