LE MALI 70 - Documentary at SOUND ON SCREEN Music Film Festival '23

Book tickets at: https://qkt.io/BzPX24 - LE MALI 70 documentary:
In Berlin, a bigband discovers old vinyls from the Malian Bigband era, music which embodied the hope for Malian independence before a coup brought an end to the big band scene. Inspired by these songs, the Berliners travel to Mali to find the heroes of their vinyl-collection. There they research the origins of the songs, marvel at old archive footage and play jam-sessions with forgotten Malian stars, and record an album in Salif Keita's studio in Bamako.

LE MALI 70 will open with the short film TIMBILA (Mozambique).
Currently young Timbila players integrate it into popular music styles, creating a fusion between traditional and contemporary instruments. On the one hand, this arouses curiosity about the origin and history of the instrument, on the other, it raises the question of where the original practice of timbila has gone and whether traditional timbila groups still exist today. But there are still masters passing on the art of making, playing and dancing Timbila from generation to generation.
