Mamadou Kelly
comes from Goundam near Timbuktu, the heart of the Niger River inner delta. Having played alongside its masters, Kelly and his group
Ban Kai Na
bring a new sophistication to the desert blues genre. With his 2013 album,
Adibar
(CLE 007CD), Kelly stepped onto the international stage to present his own repertoire as soloist and band leader. He received accolades when he toured North America, performing at major festivals and concert halls while recording this album. His band members are old friends:
Alpha "Hama" Sankare
, revered genius on calabash and longtime collaborator; master of the monochord djourkel
Brehima "Youro" Cisse
; and the young, gifted bassist
Baba Traore
. For
Djamila
, Kelly wanted to expand the sound and invited western musicians to contribute to the groove. Calling in some neighbors from Woodstock, NY, producer
Chris Nolan
added
Pete Levin
on keyboards,
Duke McVinnie
on electric guitars, and
Jane Scarpantoni
on cello. Also on hand at the sessions was
Leila Gobi
, prominent vocalist from Ménaka in Northern Mali, who provides chorus backup on three of the tracks. Kelly's smooth vocals and deceptively effortless guitar playing quickly charm his audiences. Steeped in rich historical background, his lyrical style combined with Ban Kai Na's virtuosic delivery makes it all sound so easy. Yet at the time of these recordings they all had just witnessed severe political unrest and social violence in Mali. It was a real presence during the sessions. You can hear it, the real source of the blues.
