Mamadi Diabaté et les Ambassadeurs
Les Ambassadeurs continued to perform and release material long after Salif Keita had left the group. They recorded with different line-ups and released many LPs and cassettes (for a complete discography and family tree of Les Ambassadeurs see the links below). One of the band's more obscure releases is pictured above, yet it finds the group in top form, with the added bonus of some great keyboard solos. It's a "Kaba" disc, with Mamadi Diabaté on vocals and Kanté Manfila on lead guitar. Other musicians include Sory Bamba and Tagus Traoré.
