Sissoko, Mama
Diamond Fingers
The Malian guitar virtuoso, Mama Sissoko, was introduced to music by his uncle Djeli Baba Sissoko. His music history count legendary bands like Orchestra A de Bamako, Orchestre National de Bamako and Super Biton de Segou as lead singer and guitarist. The 13 track album, is produced by his long time proteger, the French photographer Franoise Huguier. Sissoko uses irony in texts critical to the absurdities faced by immigrants in the post colonial realities.
