Story Behind The Song
This is a song written by the legendary (yet unheralded) Malian band called the Rail Band. They played at the train station in Bamako to welcome visitors from all over West Africa.
Song Description
Hypnotic, interlocking guitar parts, funky rhythmic percussion, and rich electric piano lay the groundwork for the searing horn lines and sizzling tenor sax solos that make this an instant dance classic.
