Super Biton de Segou was one of the great bands of Mali of the 1970s and 1980s, created as the Orchestre RĂ©gional de Segou, at the first Biennale in 1970 where they won several prices. They were part of all the great Post-independence Malian orchestras.
Their music’s inspiration comes more from bambara than malinkĂ© griot music.
This strong band had powerful singers such as Mamadou PercĂ© Doumbia, Toussaint SianĂ© or Papa Gaoussou Diarra (Papus), and of course the guitar of Mama Sissoko and horns of Amadou Bâ, trumpet and chef d’orchestre.
