Track 7 from Out Beyond Ideas by Mandir
7. Mali
I learned this version of Largidan, a traditional song from Mali, West Africa, from my teacher and friend, Abdoul Doumbia. During the 1996 Seattle Rhythm Festival, he kept me up late into the night, feeding me one wonderful melody after another until I was too full of music to sleep. Sometime later, I seasoned it with some western spices and cooked up this arrangement for the band.
