The Berlin-based big band OMNIVERSAL EARKESTRA set out for Mali to meet the legendary stars of their record collection. During the trip to the homes of the now almost forgotten bands from the 70s - such as the Mystère Jazz de Tombouctou, the Kanaga de Mopti, Super Biton de Ségou and the Rail Band from Bamako - modern big band arrangements of the old pieces were created and recorded together in Salif Keita's venerable Moffou studio.
The band's road trip, the special artistic-musical experiences during the sessions and in the studio, were accompanied on film. The result is the documentary film LE MALI 70 by Markus CM Schmidt, which will be released in German cinemas on August 17th. We show the film as an exclusive preview together with a live concert of the Berlin OMNIVERSAL EARKESTRA, and Malian musicians from the film: Cheick Tidiane Seck, Aly Keita, Mouneissa Tandina, Issa Sory Bamba and Adama Diarra. <br>
Come and dance with us - to the finest big band jazz in the Kesselhaus!
