New LP - Orchestre Regional de Mopti - The Best of the First Biennale of Arts and Culture for the Young (1970) - Mississippi Records. That's all we really need to say here, isn't it. If they're the label reissuing the record and it's of a genre you're even mildly interested in, you can bet your bottom dollar that it's essential. That just happens to be the case with this one. Here's the Mississippi description:
"Recorded in 1970 as part of the First Biennale of Arts and Culture for the Young in Mali. The Regional Orchestra of Mopti was a state funded orchestra that participated in country wide music festivals and competitions. A hypnotic band featuring electric guitars & a large horn section. This is the first in a series of six Mali music LPs we will be reissuing this summer from Sterns. A serene and droning record that is both sorrowful & celebratory."
This release seems to be of the same origin as the wonderful Orchestre Régional de Kayes LP Mississippi reissued a while back. That one disappeared far too quickly and we imagine that fate will probably hold true for De Mopti. Please don't sleep. You can sleep when you die.
