When I (first) discovered Amadou and Mariam on the list of performers at All Points West, I couldn't help but feel disappointed that I had missed them by an hour. This talented musical duo consists of Mariam Doumbia and Amadou Bagayoko, a blind couple who met at a school for the blind in Mali and got together because of their common interest in music.
The first A&M number I heard was "Je pense à toi", which is my favourite. I also love "Dimanche à Bamako". Their album with the same name is produced by Manu Chao. Check them out on Myspace and NPR.
