The music of the Super Rail Band, revitalized by its leader, the guitar soloist Djelimady Tounkara, is a spontaneous blend of Manding Pop, Reggae, Congolese Rumba, Salsa, Blues, and Rock'n'Roll. This legendary band, which played in Bamako's Railway Station Buffet, fostered some of the future legends of the Malian music scene.

Between 1978 & 1979, the Rail Band orchestra left Bamako, capital city of Mali, for a tour in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, West Africa. This was an inspired move from their former manager Burkinabe Mady Sanfo, as this trip would be the starting point of international careers for artists such as Mory Kanté (Rail Band's lead singer since Salif Keita's departure in 1972), Cheikh Tidiane Seck (piano & organ), band leader Tidiani Koné (saxophone & trumpet) or Djelimady Tounkara (lead guitar). It also gave a new breath to the 10 year old Rail Band orchestra.
Released in 2007 on Oriki Music.

This album crowns 25 years of a formidable career, and attests to the longevity of the Super Rail Band de Bamako, one of the most important groups on the African continent.

Not since its concerts in the 70's for the audience of Bamako's Train Station Buffet has the Super Rail Band had so much youthfulness. "Kongo Sigui" is an amazing example of reinvention and ingenious survival instinct from what remains one of the most powerful dance bands in Africa.
