Now That's What I Call Mali

Andy Kershaw meets and records some of Mali's top musicians and takes on the full richness of West African life. Originally broadcast Saturday 29 July 1989.

Another chance to hear the opening episode of a classic world music series from the broadcaster Andy Kershaw, whose death was announced last week. In 1989, Andy set off on a musical journey to explore the music and culture of the west African country of Mali. He starts in the capital Bamako and goes to the marketplace, railway station, horseraces, wrestling matches and, of course, to meet and hear Malian musicians.
