█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ With Belle Epoque Vol. 3 - Dioba, the estimable Sterns Africa label has █
█ . │▓ completed another definitive archive project documenting West Africa's █
█ . │▓ post-colonial "belle epoque" of the 1960s and 1970s. The three two-disc █
█ . │▓ volumes in the series present the hits, highlights and lesser known █
█ . │▓ treasures made by the Rail Band, the era's pre-eminent Malian modern-roots █
█ . │▓ bandùwhich featured world music stars-to-be Salif Keita and Mory Kante, █
█ . │▓ both winningly representedùin a collection that is both as scholarly and █
█ . │▓ as vibrant as the label's The Syliphone Years series, showcasing the █
█ . │▓ contemporaneous bands of neighbouring Guinea. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ The "belle epoque" found West African musicians celebrating their cultural █
█ . │▓ legacies with a confidence born of independence from colonial rule, and █
█ . │▓ placing those legacies in contexts which combined traditional song forms, █
█ . │▓ rhythms and instrumentationùnotably koras, balafons, drums and █
█ . │▓ percussionùwith electric guitars, saxophones and brass introduced during █
█ . │▓ the colonial era. The bands gave voice to the increasingly urbanised █
█ . │▓ African societies from which they emerged, keen to preserve and refashion █
█ . │▓ their heritages for modern times: the Rail Band called what they played █
█ . │▓ "Mandingo classicism" or "modern folklore." █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Crucially, the "belle epoque" pre-dated the emergence of the world music █
█ . │▓ movement, which created new markets for bands but which, inevitably, also █
█ . │▓ led to aesthetic compromises, by no means all of them well-judged or █
█ . │▓ enduring. The music of the "belle epoque" era was an explosion of █
█ . │▓ creativity unfettered by market considerations beyond the purely local. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ The Rail Band has much in common with Senegal's more widely known █
█ . │▓ Orchestra Baobab. Both bands were formed around 1970 and in their original █
█ . │▓ incarnations were active until the mid 1980s, exploring similar, █
█ . │▓ modern-roots terrains. But while the "belle epoque" Rail Band, █
█ . │▓ particularly in the years when Keita was its lead vocalist, was at home █
█ . │▓ with the stately and spacious, rolling savannah rhythms which typified █
█ . │▓ Baobab's output, much of their music was wilder, more urgent, raw and █
█ . │▓ intense, and included Malian spins on Nigerian Afrobeat and Congolese █
█ . │▓ rumba. This rainbow of sounds was magnified by the differing styles of the █
█ . │▓ band's chief songwriters and vocalistsùSalif Keita from 1970-72, followed █
█ . │▓ by Mory Kante and Magan Ganessy, who were featured alongside each other █
█ . │▓ during the mid 1970sùeach of whom brought his own, singular, ethnic █
█ . │▓ folklore tradition with him. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Like its predecessors Belle Epoque Vol. 1 - Soundiata (Sterns, 2007) and █
█ . │▓ Belle Epoque Vol. 2 - Mansa (Sterns, 2008), Dioba presents a selection of █
█ . │▓ tracks recorded by the Rail Band between 1970 and 1983. Two are from the █
█ . │▓ Keita years, most are from the mid 1970s, with Kante featured on six █
█ . │▓ tracks and Ganessy on five. An entrancing thread running through all the █
█ . │▓ tracks recorded from 1972 onwards is lead guitarist Djelimady Tounkara, a █
█ . │▓ brilliantly imaginative player whose style incorporates cascading, █
█ . │▓ kora-like, single-note runs, jazzy chorded passages and laid back savannah █
█ . │▓ rock, all of it fed through an echo chamber variously set between five and █
█ . │▓ 11. Tounkara has the transporting lyricism of Baobab's lead guitarist, █
█ . │▓ Barthelemy Attisso, but places it on a broader stylistic canvas. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Dioba showcases the Rail Band in all its splendid moods and colours: from █
█ . │▓ Keita's spiritualised and virtuosic "Maki" and "Soyomba," through █
█ . │▓ Ganessy's fierce going on feral "Kadia Kandian" and "Djamban," the █
█ . │▓ re-Africanised Stax-Volt soul of Kante's "Mariba Yassa" and his mesmeric █
█ . │▓ take on Afrobeat, "Sinsimba," spacier and nimbler than originator Fela █
█ . │▓ Kuti's style, on to the rumba-infused "Foliba" and "Talassa." Two 1982 █
█ . │▓ tracks, "Diby" and "Diabate," feature the psychedelicised keyboards of █
█ . │▓ Alfred Coulibaly, a late but valuable addition to the line-up, inhabiting █
█ . │▓ adjacent territory to that being explored by the American keyboard player █
█ . │▓ Marco Benevento on Me Not Me (The Royal Potato Family, 2009), two and a █
█ . │▓ half decades later. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Such sumptuous diversity makes it hard to stereotype the Rail Band, which █
█ . │▓ creates an artistic bonus but a marketing challenge. Partly as a █
█ . │▓ consequence, their cousins Orchestra Baobab have to date made the bigger █
█ . │▓ impact, both with their heritage recordings and as a reformed band on the █
█ . │▓ international festival and concert circuit. Anyone who loves Baobab, but █
█ . │▓ who has yet to discover the Rail Band, should do themselves a favour and █
█ . │▓ check Mali's "belle epoque" finest out. A feast of magnificent music █
█ . │▓ awaits you. █
