Volume 2 (Reissue) (White Vinyl LP)

While his name may not yet be as well known as fellow Mali music legends Toumani Diabaté or Ali Farka Touré, West African guitarist and bandleader Zani Diabaté left behind a remarkable musical legacy, most notably with his Super Djata Band. A thrilling hotpot mashup of "Wasulu hunter music, griot praises, Senufo pastoral dances" mixed with afro beat, psychedelic rock, and blues, this cult classic from 1982 is set for reissue through the trusty Numero Group. - Flying Out

Connecting Wasulu hunter music, griot praises, Senufo pastoral dances, Fula and Mandingo repertoire alongside Western psychedelia, blues and afro-beat, Zani Diabaté's Super Djata Band was among Mali's top orchestras of the 1980s. On their 1982 album, Diabaté enshrines himself within the pantheon of mythical West African guitarists, hypnotically picking through eight vivid compositions on his path to godhead status.
