Album Notes Source/Abdoulaye Diabate: Abdoulaye Diabate (background vocals); Djikorya Mory Kante, Mamadou Ba, Bailo Bah, Robert Bonhomme, Sylvain Leroux. Personnel: Djikorya Mory Kante (guitar); Sylvain Leroux (flute, alto saxophone, background vocals); Mamadou Ba (bass instrument); Robert Bonhomme (drum). Malian guitarist and vocalist Abdoulaye Diabate has been blurring the boundaries between traditional African music and Western-influenced pop since he joined the Orchestre Regionale de Segou in the mid-'70s. On TONIGHT"S AFRICAN JAZZ BAND, Diabate is backed by Source, an improvisational ensemble organized by Canadian flautist Sylvain Leroux. The group performs a pleasing approximation of Malian Afro-pop, but the real attraction here is Diabate's effortlessly fluid guitar work, which dominates throughout.
