Orchestre Régional de Mopti

about

The Orchestre Régional de Mopti produced two recordings - a 10" disc of four tracks released through the national radio station and one album through the Bärenreiter-Musicaphon label in circa 1970. Some of the orchestra's members, however, also performed in Kanaga de Mopti, a non-government-sponsored group, which released an LP on the Mali Kunkan label. An orchestra of 14 musicians, the Orchestre Régional de Mopti personified the cultural policies of the era by adapting traditional melodies and songs (such as the epic "Taara") into a modern performance context (electric instrumentation, brass section, etc). The Bärenreiter-Musicaphon recordings of Mali's music in the early 1970s totalled over 15 albums, most of which have been unavailable for many years and are now highly sought after.
