I am doing a lot of Mandingue shows lately. When doors open, the clubs aren't full for a while as people filter in. So, while I hook up my video feed and get a drink from the bar, I like to put on something long. So, I've been going with Bembeya Jazz National's Montagne, which is 18:31 long. Listening to this track so many nights, I've come to realize it's really a masterpiece, and that Sekou "Diamond Fingers" Diabate is, hands down, the greatest guitar player out of Africa ...ever.
