Paris allowed Kanté to express his electric self, and his mandé roots are quite well hidden on half the songs. In truth, this is not one of my favorite records, though I do like the vibrant version of the classic "Yéké Yéké." See what you think. . .

Mory Kanté - A Paris (1984)
Paris allowed Kanté to express his electric self, and his mandé roots are quite well hidden on half the songs. In truth, this is not one of my favorite records, though I do like the vibrant version of the classic "Yéké Yéké." See what you think. . .

Do you have the first one Krougnegne. I am really looking for it. I like this album though. Yeke Yeke and Mbalou are some nice jams to play over and over again.
While I am sad hearing of mediafire acting up, I thank you for sharing this album. Apurva from Pune, India.
For me, there's still enough of the Rail Band's styling in this, under all the electric stuff, and I have to say the zest appeals to me! One of the better solo albums of his I've heard - thanks for the opportunity!
R.I.P. Mory Kanté, who has died aged 70 from untreated health problems on 22 May 2020. Thanks for this!
