Amadou & Mariam are a blind duo from Mali. They moved to Paris in 1996, and have released seven studio albums so far. Dimanche A Bamako (Sunday In Bamako) is their fourth, and brought the pair to their first real taste of international fame. It was produced by French singer Manu Chao, who also provides vocals and guitar. This album charted in France (reaching #2), Belgium, Sweden and other European countries. Their brand of African blues is upbeat and beautiful, relying heavily not only on drums and percussion, but also on horns and guitar. And both Amadou Bagayoko and Mariam Doumbia are fine singers, so there’s a lot of fine elements to bring together here.

The best tracks here are enough to make you want to seek out more from them. “La Realite” and “Beaux Dimanches” are exceptional, but it’s “Senegal Fast Food” that will win over more of an audience in the English speaking world. Of course, because Amadou & Mariam sing in French (the official language of Mali), American and English success has been hard to come by. But this album is worth taking a shot with a foreign language. It’s considered one of the finest world music albums of the 2000’s, and it was a stepping stone for even bigger success for the duo. This one is worth at least a listen…it really is an excellent work by one of the finest artists in music today. [First added to this chart: 02/01/2025]

I thought you had forgotten R.E.M. but here they are. Master of Puppets are ranked very low but why not ;)
