Moussa Doumbia - Keleya

Guediawaye-Dakar-Sénégal 2003

What's up fellaz....it's been a while!
Very busy these last weeks and it's gonna be worst and worst.

Just wanted to talk about a great african saxophonist from Mali called Moussa Doumbia. In some ways he's the inventor of a very particular kind of afro-beat which draws as much in american funk as in traditionnal malian music.

In the 80's Moussa came to live in France where he played a lot @ la boule noire in Paris and worked at the same time as a record dealer....He died in the most absolute anonymity....

Last year the californian label Stones Throw had the great idea to publish a compilation called World Psychedelic 3 - the funky fuzzy sounds of West Africa in which the track keleya by Moussa Doubia appears.

Here's the one.

Picture above taken by myself, it's a place I've been living for 3 month when I worked for the Banlieue Rythme Festival in Guediawaye, Senegal in 2003.

I'll be on the radio show, 99.3 FM next sunday, it's getting rare so don't miss it.

Peace.
