#4 - Africolor

I always loved the music of Wassoulou-ladies from Mali and visited a lot of concerts in the nineties. Somewhere in 1992 I saw Nahawa Doumbia, Djeneba Diakité and Safi Diawara on stage together in Melkweg, Amsterdam. It was an amazing performance and the place was going wild. When I was hunting for good cassette-music in Abidjan four years later, my eyes fell on this tape Africolor. It was later that I realised that this tape could possibly be a registration of that concert in Amsterdam.
