Amadou & Mariam: The Magic Couple
The husband and wife duo have found a name for an album that is both appropriate and true. They are music’s magic couple, because they are Malian blind blues legends. The 50-something’s first met at Mali’s Institute for the Young Blind many years ago. Some of their famous fans include Damon Albarn (Blur) and Chris Martin (Coldplay). They’re not just a traditional African and Malian band, rather, they combine other world influences like Indian and Arab, as well as R&B.
