Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke

For Sarah Murray💓

The French are really into African music. See Bandsplaining New Guitar Music From The Sahara I think I first heard this blasting out of a car in Paris! I have a recollection that I described this song to Sarah in words, while we were in Pakistan I think, and she knew what I meant and told me the name of the song, and when I got back to the UK a year later, I found a copy of the album and lo, she was right! While were in Pakistan the Berlin Wall came down and we heard about it on the BBC World Service in a tent over a glacier high up in the foothills of the Karakoram mountains. See Ali Farka Touré.
