Bembaya Jazz, a seminal Guninean band dating back to the early 1960s, now renunited (with four key members of the original dozen) under the leadership of Sekou "Diamond Fingers" Diabate.  Their new cd Bembaya (World Village) finds them in fine form, revisiting some classics form their onset onwards.  First the Super Rail Band, the Orchestre Baobab, and now Bembaya; there's nothing like these veterans to teach us that good music, like good taste, can be timeless 07/01/03
