Having arrived in France in the early 1990s, Malian singer Mamani Keita already
has a solid track record back home. A member of the Orchestre National du Mali,
then a backing singer for Salif Keita, Mamani Keita is even solidly armed.
However, her debut album Electro Bamako (2001), on which she blends African
music with electro, was a surprise. In a style close to that of Amadou & Mariam,
she returned in 2006 with Yelema, which marked the beginning of her
collaboration with Nicolas Repac. The new accomplices return in 2011 with Gagner
l'Argent Français and its shock track.
