Our Take

All aboard the funky train with Rail Band's Belle Epoque - Vol. 1, a delightful ode to the golden age of African music. Picture yourself sipping a cocktail in a smoky jazz club in 1970s Mali, with the sultry sounds of Rail Band serenading your ears.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Mansa," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the journey. The interplay between the guitars and horns is nothing short of mesmerising, transporting you to a vibrant, pulsating world where the music never stops.

Lead singer Salif Keita's soulful vocals soar effortlessly over the band's tight arrangements, adding a layer of depth and emotion to each and every track. From the hypnotic rhythms of "Duga" to the upbeat grooves of "Koro Koni," Belle Epoque - Vol. 1 is a masterclass in Afrobeat perfection.

Rail Band's seamless blend of traditional Malian instruments with Western influences creates a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. It's impossible not to tap your feet and bob your head to the infectious rhythms that permeate every track.

In conclusion, Belle Epoque - Vol. 1 is a must-listen for any fan of world music looking to expand their horizons. Rail Band's infectious energy and undeniable talent make this album a standout in the genre. All aboard the funky train - next stop, musical bliss.
