Artist Name: Kamale Ngoni
Genre: Wassoulou
Country: Mali

Artist Bio: 

The Kamale ngoni is a modern instrument created about 20 years ago by the rebel hunters of the region of Wassolou (Mali). Rough, packed with emotion, it shows here the sound of its rebel origins.

With regard to the current Wassolou musical variety, the Aliou Fané /Daouda Sangaré/Djuru Diallo trio symbolizes a ferocious attachment to its roots, and at the same time to a great creative freedom. —Courtesy Calabash Music
