Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako - Tiecolomba

From: Les Ambassadeurs du Motel - Volume 2 (1977)

"... This album, released in 1977, was the last of Les Ambassadeurs before they went 'international', i.e. moved from Bamako to A...bidjan. In the move they lost one of the key members which is still present in the line-up for this album: organist Idrissa Sumaoro. He is present as an organist in five of the seven tracks, and as a singer in the two tracks composed by Manfila Kanté..."
