Rail Band — S-T (Mississippi)
Tumblr media
“Marabayasa” is a groove that transcends time and geography, a monstrous monolith of funk that follows a pied piper’s sax through strutting, swaggering, stop-motion syncopation. The singer, Malian legend Mory Kanté leads an exuberant call and response, his fluid, note-bending salvo met with an echo so rhythmic, so hip swaying that it commands motion. The guitars are high and golden-toned, the piano insistent on the offbeats. When Kanté launches an instrumental break with a reverberating “waa-aa-aah,” you feel that you’re there in the heat of it, sweating and grinning.It’s the standout track on the Rail Band’s 1973 debut, a record of scorching power and body-tingling joy, performed train-side at the Buffet Hotel de la Gare. The Rail Band, you see, was the state-sponsored musical outfit of the Malian railroad.
That 1970s band included both Kanté and Salif Keita singing, Tidiani Koné on trumpet and saxophone, Djelimandy Tounkara on guitar and numerous drummers, merging traditional African sounds with mambo from Cuba, and funk, soul and jazz from America. They played five nights a week at a café in the rail station in Bamako to locals, expats, visiting businessmen and travelers. To judge by this album, it was a hell of a way to while away the hours until departure, much better than airport CNN feeds, so good that you might decide not to leave.
Consider, for instance, the fluid big-band wallop of “Moko Jolo,” this one with Koné on trumpet and sax both, both horns floating in a haze over an impacted, side-shifting beat. Percussion, on the kit and played by hand, takes the foreground in “Nantan,” setting a wandering rhythm for guitars to snake through, a shifting, phantasmagorical foundation for shadowed group vocals, the sound of distance, heat and longing baked in. It’s all very fine, intricate but physically stirring, full of skill but inflamed with feeling. Still after a while, you might find yourself turning to “Marabayasa” again, because it cooks so hard.

Italiani, se avete Netflix sembra che adesso su Netflix Italia c’è un film francese che si chiama “le ballon d’or” (il pallone d’oro).
Racconta la vita/l’infanzia di Salif Keita (versione romanzata ovviamente). Era un calciatore (del Mali se non mi sbaglio - è morto nel 2023) che aveva un potenziale enorme (alcuni di suoi compagni hanno detto che se avesse voluto avrebbe potuto arrivare al livello di Pelé). In Francia, è una leggenda dello sport (soprattutto in una città 💚), e se avesse già visto alcuni calciatori africani fare la pantera come celebrazione è in suo onore: lui è la Pantera Nera.
Il film è bellissimo e ve lo raccomando.
