Ablaye Sarre et son Orchestre (1991/92, K7)

Let's go over the border to Mali, bought this K7 in 1992 during a trip through Mali, actually the first time I went out of Europe. Don't remember why nor where I bought it, but I guess on the road somewhere between Segou and Mopti.

I don't have and couldn't find on the web any further info about this one, except that it was issued through Camara Productions. Which is still existing and, even after more than 20 years located at the same address in Paris (see sleeve and website), they also are running a youtube channel with Malian music and TV series.
Ablaye plays the strings (of his guitar), a little in the vein of the late Ali Farka Toure, and his Orchestra could very well be his family (i.e.wife and daughters on vocals and one of his sons on calabash percussion), but as you understand that's just my wild guess.
I must admit that I hadn't played it in a long long time, but recently found it between my stuff and now quit enjoy listening to it.

Here you can listen to the first track:

Anybody who knows more about this K7 or it's performers, even if it's just a tiny piece of info, I'm very interested, so please don't hesitate to make comments to this post.
