    Saw this great band in NYC same year - and totally grooved on Cherry playing the dousso n'goni or Malian Hunters harp. Check out one of the malian greats these days: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sekouba+traore. Hapy Holidays to you all and thank you for the wealth of music.

    Looking forward to this. I saw them in '87 at the Leadmill. Ed Blackwell was too ill to play, but Nana played a drum kit with one hand and hit percussion with the other. Thanks, Neil

    @ Neil. Yes. I saw them again on that same tour at Warwick University. Blackwell played the first set only, and Nana took over for the second. I have the BBC recording from the Brighton gig (by then with no Blackwell) if you are interested.
