Pre-Order: Super Djata Band - Authentique 80 (LP)

Connecting Wasulu hunter music, griot praises, Senufo pastoral dances, Fula and Mandingo repertoire alongside Western psychedelia, blues and afro-beat, Zani Diabaté's Super Djata Band was among Mali's top orchestras of the '80s. On the 14-strong unit's spellbinding debut album, Diabaté & co. Spread out across half a dozen guitar-driven workouts, seamlessly bridging the gap between party funk and protest psych.
