Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1979 on the Disques Espérance label, this record serves as the original soundtrack for the film Baara, directed by the acclaimed Malian filmmaker Souleymane Cissé. The film is a landmark of African cinema, recognized for its unflinching critique of class dynamics and labor exploitation in post-independence Mali. The soundtrack was composed and performed by Lamine Konté, a celebrated musician and master of the kora, whose work often bridged traditional West African musical forms with the sociopolitical narratives of the era.

Lamine Konté’s contribution to the project was intended to evoke the atmospheric and rhythmic intensity of urban Malian life as portrayed in Cissé's vision. By utilizing the delicate, resonant tones of the kora, Konté provided a sophisticated sonic backdrop that contrasted with the often harsh realities of the factory workers' lives depicted on screen. The album is considered a significant artifact of 1970s African cultural production, valued both by enthusiasts of world cinema and by collectors of regional West African jazz and folk fusion.
