[edit] Question

Where is Ali Farka Touré in this article?

While I realize that this comment is old; just to clarify any future questions. As of 11:29, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC), Ali Farka Touré can be found in the last sentence under the section 1980s. -JCarriker 11:29, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bamana/Bambara

Is it worth noting that Bamana is the name of Bambara peoples in the Bambara language itself? I don't think most people will pick that up on their own...

Probably in the Bambara and Bambara language articles. Here it would probably be best to change Bamana to Bambara. I hope this helps you. -JCarriker 11:29, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Damon Albarn

Someone should write about Damon Albarn's Mali Music release for Oxfam.

[edit] Amadou & Mariam

Does anyone know where this excellent act fit into all of this? I know they actually record in Cote D'Ivore, but they are both malinese AFAIK. Povmcdov 16:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
