Mama Sissoko is a legend in Mali, and Soleil de Minuit gives Americans a chance to discover his masterful guitar work and sweet song craft. As a Manding griot - a musical historian by birth - Sissoko delivers elegant interpretations of songs from an old repertoire of classics. But he does more as well, cranking out Manding rock, exploring the bluesy Bambara music of the Segou region, and presenting Mali's take on Afro-Cuban music. In all, a great introduction to a extraordinary artist. 1) Jarabi Muso - 5:05 2) Boma Ma - 6:31 3) Safiatou - 5:27 4) Manssane Cisse - 5:38 5) Soleil De Minuit - 6:12 6) Iri - 4:00 7) Fisirwale - 5:03 8) Namissa - 5:28 9) Commissariat - 5:57 10) Hommage A K - 4:15
