Amadou & Mariam, from Mali, became international stars in 2006 with the global success of their groundbreaking 'Dimanche à Bamako' album which has sold close to 700,000 copies around the world - a phenomenal achievement for an African recording.
'Coulibaly' is one of the signature tracks of the album which was produced by the celebrated French / Latin artist Manu Chao. The new remixes, especially those featuring Kano and Akon, are bound to introduce even more people to the African superstars Amadou & Mariam.
