Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Mama Sisoko has been a leader in 
the Mali music scene since the late '70s. His musical education 
began when he started to play the battery of traditional percussion 
instruments at the age of eight and soon moved to guitar. He was a 
player in the National Orchestra of Mali for many seasons. As time 
went on he had a major part in a variety of musical groups that 
performed everything from traditional percussion music to hybrids 
of European and American pop. His growing international fame is 
partially due to performances at a number of international music 
festivals and his acclaimed solo debut, Amours Jarabi, in 1997. 
Even though the critical reports of his debut were overwhelmingly 
positive, his lack of distribution prevented international success. 
Soleil de Minuit was released in the United States by Tinder in 2001. 
This record introduced his moody, spiritual Afro-pop to an 
international audience and was widely embraced by world music 
audiences. As a songwriter he incorporates elements of bright 
Afro-pop and Latin pop into songs with topics ranging from simple 
themes of love and relationships to highly politicized statements of 
African culture. ~
