...streets spill over with tunes played by some of West Africa's greatest musicians. This city of 1 million lives for music. By day, battered taxis blare out foot-stomping beats, while old men cross roads with radios glued to their ears. By night, Bamako is a riot of noise as singers ululate at wedding parties and the city's many music venues crank up the bass. Perhaps surprisingly, there is more than a little flavor of Cuba here - partly due to commerce, and partly due to shared rhythmic heritage. Yet each ethnic or social group (ranging from the singer...
...trouble is, this wasn’t the real ’60s—like the bizarre parliamentary spectacle of the platform’s adoption by a half-empty floor, it was a show.

Meanwhile he is keeping up the heat and late last week preached a sermon urging...

That enthusiasm doesn’t jibe with the British reputation for reserve and the quietude of its country lanes. It’s getting harder these days to make such stereotypic claims about this increasingly multicultural country, where, people of every color...
