National Badema

about

National Badema was a Malian orchestra aka L’Orchestre le National Badéma with Khalil Traoré (1st chef d'orchestre, keyboard), Amadou Ba Guindo (chef d'orchestre, trumpet), Kassemady Diabaté (vocals), Boncana Maïga (flute), Sidya Touré (guitar), Harouna Barry (tenor sax), Bah Tapo (percussion), Aliou Traoré (violin), Baba Traoré, Dramané Coulibaly, Issa Falaba Traoré. Former members of the orchestra "les Maravillas du Mali", took on the name Badema National in 1976. From the lush savanna in the south to the all-encompassing desert of the north, the Badema National's repertoire spans the diversity of Malian music. The orchestra's purpose is the revitalization of Malian musical heritage by the training, the supervision, and the production of albums for needy, up-and-coming musicians. The Badema employs traditional Malian instruments within the modern context. Even though its base lies with traditional rock instruments such as keyboards, guitars, and drums, the following instruments are employed by the Badema: Djembé Kamalen N’Goni Tamani (Talking drum) Soku (One-stringed violin) Balafon Discography National Badema du Mali 2004 OCLC 84649494 Original Kasse Mady 1999 Sono CDS 7071 CD reissue Nama 1983 Syllart 38767-1 LP, initially released on Mali Kunkan / Ivoire Polydisc IP 8300 OCLC 634909465 Tira Makan 1977 on Mali Kunkan (ref.KO 77.07.07) OCLC 658829068 User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
