Travels in the Sahel

Aired September 12, 2002

Mali is one of Afropop's richest sources. In this visit to the capital, Bamako, we hear Abdoulaye Diabate, Zani Diabate, Toumani Diabate and others. Next door is the less well known musical culture of Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta). Georges Collinet shares music and stories from his recent visit to Ougadougou.
