Amadou et Mariam received wide acclaim for their latest album,
Dimanche A Bamako. It soared up the charts in France on the strength of its music (and possibly the duo's charming history). It helps that they had a great, and lively, band: Yvo Abadi on drums, Boubacar Dembele on percussion, Laurent Griffon on 12-string guitar and bass and Igor Nikitinski on keyboards.
Amadou bends the strings.
Mariam exhorts the crowd.
They're a cute couple.
Igor gets the requisite cruddy back-of-the stage photo.
Boubacar adds more cowbell.
Lots of joking around on stage, particularly between Boubacar and Laurent.
Singalong action!
Boubacar wanders.
Okay everybody, do the wave!
The grand finale!
A genuinely warm-hearted show.
