They come from Mali

the musician : Amadou & Mariam
the tune : La Réalité

Purists will certainly say this is no jazz and I'd have to agree but I am no purist and I love discovering new artists.

By the way, Nate is the co-founder of the great "They Draw and Cook" blog which was a big inspiration for this blog. Go check it now, it is really worth it.
