It was a tough week of musical legends passing away. I only heard about Amadou yesterday and was gutted. His music with Mariam was all I played for a good long time a decade or so ago and in my head they had a dozen more classic album to make. I’m grateful to have gotten to see them perform a couple of times. Dimanche a Bamako is their peak perfect album IMO, but I love all their music. And Dave Allen’s passing also hit me hard. Lovely tributes with the Shriekback and Gang of Four songs.
