Sékouba Bambino
The international Guinean Sékouba Bambino said: "I do not understand anything, I am confused, I have at least five albums on sale in Mali but I don’t manage to collect my royalties. In Guinea, they tell me that Mali never sends the royalties of Guinean the authors type-setters, in Mali, they think that it’s Guinea which does not transfer the royalties. I passed to the BMDA to know some more, they give me a partial situation which only relates the edition fees but there are also the public execution fees of our works which never appear in these calculations. It’s a pity but we’re obliged to ask European companies to manage our business if ours are not able."

Ali Farka Touré
The Godfather Ali Farka Touré actively prepares his future album between Niafunké, his village of adoption and the studio Bogolan of Bamako. If no date is still advanced by MALI K7 for the official release, the very nearest republication of his hits is announced. Waiting for all that, the Town hall of Nantes (France) invites its eminence the country musician Ali Farka Touré to sponsor the 17th edition of the festival of the Erdre which will be held from August 29th to August 31st, 2003 in Nantes and which will record the participation of Belgium, Brazil, Hungary, Morocco and Turkey. It should be also noted that Mali will be represented to this festival by a Malian group of jazz.
