Amadou & Mariam Artist Snapshot:

Malian musicians Mariam Doumbia and Amadou Bagayoko began their careers as members of one of Mali's most popular Mande outfits, Les Ambassadeurs du Motel. After leaving Les Ambassadeurs in 1980 the two, now a married couple, continued to record and perform as a duo. Their 1985 release, SOU NI TILE, won them considerable attention in Europe thanks to Amadou's deft guitar work and the couple's tight harmonies. By the early `00s, the group had begun to incorporate elements of Middle Eastern and Cuban music into their work, and began attracting rock audiences with releases like 2008's stylistically eclectic WELCOME TO MALI.

Uncut (p.105) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Manu Chao, here helps them paint their Malian pop in global colours..."
Dirty Linen (p.58) - "[L]ush, multi-facetted....[They] have a well-developed pop sensibility..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.58) - Ranked #9 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2005" - "Amadou & Mariam mixed Malian rhythms and Memphis grooves. And crossed right over."

Title Note

Amadou & Mariam: Amadou Bagayoko (vocals, guitar); Mariam Doumbia (vocals).

Personnel include: Manu Chao (vocals, guitar, programming); Tiken Jah Fakoly (vocals); Roy Paci (trumpet); Francois Regis Matuszenski (keyboards); Laurent Griffon (bass guitar).

Produced by and featuring world-music star Manu Chao, DIMANCHE A BAMAKO showcases the talents of married couple Amadou Bagayoko (vocals, guitar) and Mariam Doumbia (vocals), who met at a Malian institute for the blind. While Amadou & Mariam have been making music together for decades, this album is their first high-profile international release, and they take full advantage of the attention with a buoyant set of French-language tunes mixing traditional Malian sounds with Latin rhythms, folk, blues, and reggae.
