Prior to our last day at the studio in Bamako all of these kids were passing by and JeConte started doing his thing...The reaction is priceless... Thanks to the ESSAKANE FILM crew for capturing this moment...

JeConte & the Mali Allstars are a soulful blend of traditional Malian Blues and Northern California/New Orleans harmonica-based Rock 'n' Roll. The project leaders collectively bring original music to the ensemble. This combination creates a high energy, one-of-a-kind performance that gets the crowd going.
The band recently completed a full-length album titled "Mali Blues" in Bamako, Mali. The compilation by leading members, JeConte, Boubacar Sidibe and Adama Drame, includes unique, soulful songs with Blues, Rock, R&B, Reggae and African World influences.
JeConte & the Mali Allstars headlined 'The Festival in the Desert' in Mali in January, and will be touring Europe and the United States throughout 2011. The band is also in discussions with multiple labels to bring this inspirational
music to the greater World.
