Teningnini
Demba is the grand-daughter of Ba Zoumana Sissoko. Her second cassette (above) was released
in 1994. The opening track "Yirbayo" was one of the top Malian songs of
the 1990s. An inspired recording
with a scorching guitar solo (one of Mali's best) it is quintessential
listening. The backing vocalists are also superb, as are
the lead vocals of Teni Demba. She has an excellent band and further recordings
are hopefully forthcoming.
