As stated in last year's post, there's enough info to find on the internet about Baaba Maal, with or without Mansour Seck, here just a few links to main info:

• Baaba Maal's official website
• Baaba Maal at Musiqued'Afrique (bio- and basic discography)
• Very detailed discography by Toshiya Endo (incl.more local K7s than one can imagine...)

... and another acoustic session to listen to:

• Baaba Maal & Mansour Seck with band 2002.Jan in New York recorded by AfroPop
