Sorry Bamba is indeed unsung music legend in Africa, he definitely didn’t hit the height of his contemporaries across the continent of Africa. Bamba was born in the year 1938 and he’s currently 82 years old.

Bamba is probably the best performer in Mali,” says keyboardist Cheick Tidiane Seck.

This other Malian virtuoso, who knows him well, stayed in the shadows for quite a while, prior to accomplishing global acknowledgment following a 30-year vocation.

In any case, Bamba, “.. isn’t somebody who puts himself forward,” adds the 67-year-old jazzman.

Sory Bamba is the finest trumpeter in the whole of Africa, gaining recognition from far and near, he could have received numerous award from intertional organization, he’s indeed one of the unsung greatest legends in Africa.
