Item Description

Let s have a great trip together around the African continent.
So gald to share all these tasty and spicy sounds.
Enjoy ARTIST RAIL BAND Title Tiramakan S rie Folk Rail N 1 Country Mali Year 1974 Label / Ref / Pressing Rail Culture Authentique Mali / RCAM 013374 / Original from France - Cover made in Mali Tracks Side A : Tiramakan / Marietou / Noumounan Side B : Yakarepare / Baichabata / Battou AFRO ULO Unexpected Legendary Object HOLY GRAIL ??? Yes, I know.
You think the word Holy Grail is very often used to present rarities.
As if, after all, there were one thousand grails...
I must admit that I used that sacred word in the past.
This time, the story is different.
A few years ago, I found a few copies of the cover ...
all empty I never found the record, not a copy, even in awful condition.
Unexpected existence.
Until a collector shows me one copy without cover , white label, just Tiramakan handwritten on it...He tells me that a member of the Rail Band gave it to him.
With vague explanations...it was never marketed for obscure reasons...well, so I probably will never find this record.
And indeed, I never found it myself.
But last year, an unexpected phone call.
A friend of mine.
What ??? Can t believe what I hear.
To his only question, he received a tremulous positive answer.
And later, in a precious box, I received a precious diamond, I received the Sacred Cup.
Unexpected Legendary Object.
And you know that I sold it.
Convinced that he d find another copy, my friend went back to Mali.
From North to South, from East to West, he traveled everywhere across the country.
He stirred heaven and earth, asked to the gods and to the hell.
Finally he dug up another copy, unfortunately in poor condition.
And nine months later, as a new birth, a new miracle happened something divine...a christmas gift ? : a third star came down in our world.
It s a find of paramount importance.
Thereby proving that there are at least 3 copies in the world Honestly, I think this is one of the rarest African records.
That I know, of course.
And I know now that this record exists.
In any case, there is at least three copies...So, how long will it take before someone finds a fourth copy ? And thus deny that this record is almost the Holy Grail ? Well, today, what can I add ? Yes, the music is indescribable, as the beauty of the siren s song.
Let s say that with words that we can understand, us, poor earthlings : it s between Manding black magic and Ethiopian music enchantment.
In too much discourse, truth is lost.
Speech is silver, but music is gold Soundfiles are recorded from the vinyl auctioned A3 : : : : : : Record Side A : VG- to G a lot of surface scuffs, marks and traces, plays with constant crackles, mostly light on A3 plays near VG Absolutely enjoyable but a tiny deep scuff with a big click at 1 06 listen to the soundfile , crackles mostly serious on A1 a bit lighter during the last part with some clicks, mostly lighter on A2 more serious at the middle , nothing too heavy, still quite enjoyable...
