Today is a good day.
Married duo Amadou & Mariam announced that their new album ‘Folila‘ is ready to be released in March. Also a new track called ‘Dougou Badia‘ appeared on Pitchfork, the track features ABE favourite Santigold who also helped co-write the song. You can listen to the track here.
The follow-up to the Marc-Antoine Moreau and Damon Albarn produced ‘Welcome To Mali‘ will feature an eclectic array of artists like TV On The Radio, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeah), Theophilus London, Bassekou Kouyate and others.
For those unfamiliar with the duo, you probably heard the track ‘Sabali‘ which was sampled on ‘Patience‘ by Nas & Damian Marley.
I loved ‘Welcome To Mali’ and I also got a chance to see the duo live and they were amazing, they put on an energetic and lively show. I’m so excited for this new album, I want to hear the TV On The Radio feature now!
Dougou Badia – EP is out 24th January.
Folia – Album out on 27th March on Nonesuch and Because Music.
