theworldmusicplanet | Reves D'Oasis Desert Blues 2 - 'Mande Djeliou' by Djelimady Tounkara Mali @theworldmusicplanet | Uploaded December 2015 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Track 11 'Mande Djeliou' by Djelimady Tounkara, CD One from the double CD set compilation Reves D'Oasis Desert Blues 2 released on the Network label in 2002. Distributed by Harmonia Mundi.
Djelimady born in Mali, is known as the 'God of Mandinka guitar'. He is the founder of the electric guitar style honed to perfection by the Rail Band, in which such incredible singers as Salif Keita and Mory Kante launched their careers. In 'Mande Djeliou' we hear him on acoustic guitar in a homage to the jali of Mali, especially those from Kita. Kita is a sacred place for the Mandinka, birthplace of the country's greatest jali families and of Tounkara himself.
“Bahr bela ma”, ocean without water, was the name by which Arab camel drivers knew the Sahara, the world's largest desert. They travelled that ocean by camel, the ships of the desert, or as the French call their caravans, le train de sable.
