While he's collaborated with the new flamenco group Ketama twice (for the Songhai series), Diabate's not a prolific recording artist, and he was in danger of falling off the world music radar at the turn of the 21st century. But in 2005 his career was resurrected when producer Nick Gold enabled a series of recordings that led to three new albums, the first of which was In The Heart of the Moon, an album of improvised duets with Ali Farka Toure. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.32274&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss Mali Sun, 13 Dec 2009 10:14:04 -0800 Top Mali Artists on Rhapsody Online art.32274 art.32274 Rokia Traore art.32274 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.32274&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.32274&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss Mouneissa and Wanita, Traore had garnered oodles of world music awards and acolades for her distinctive, airy-yet-substantial singing. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2038&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss Mali Sun, 13 Dec 2009 10:14:06 -0800 Top Mali Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2038 art.2038 Tinariwen art.2038 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2038&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2038&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss Radio Tisdas Sessions brought them worldwide acclaim.

Sangare has enhanced and refined the deep musical traditions of the Wassolou region of Mali; traditional instruments used in her songs include the kamalangoni (a staccato-sounding string instrument), the bolon (a wooden marimba), the Peul flute, and djembe drums and percussion. To complement her ethereal singing, she adds horns (arranged by James Brown veteran Pee Wee Ellis) that offer unusual, soulful accents. Meanwhile, violins, electric bass and patterned guitar combine with shakers and scrapers to produce hypnotic patterns. At times controversial, her lyrics put a woman's perspective front and center and make her a spokeswoman for a new generation of African women. - Robert Leaver]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.41755&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss Mali Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:54:26 -0700 Top Mali Artists on Rhapsody Online art.41755 art.41755 Issa Bagayogo art.41755 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.41755&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.41755&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fafrica%2Fmali%2Fartist-chart.rss ngoni (six-stringed lute) playing with modern electronics.
