Desc: Bamako is a Miracle: Directed by Samuel Chalard. Verna Gillis , an American producer, convinces her husband Roswell Rudd , one of the greatest jazz trombonists to go to Mali. Once in the Malian capital, Gillis brings together the jazzman and the Malian griot Toumani Diabaté for a month. Roswell has the griot and his cronies play the Thelonious Monk while Toumani in turn teaches him traditional Mandingo themes . As the days go by, an ethnomusical record will be born from this collaboration. Despite the difficulties, the documentary appears as a fusional encounter where the mixing of sounds and cultures generates a quality record. Bamako is a Miracle is meant to be a story of a musical adventure full of emotions, the showcase of two cultures coming together.
