National Badema
Former members of the orchestra "les Maravillas du Mali", took on the name Badema National in 1976. From the lush savannah in the south to the all-encompassing desert of the north, the Badema National's repertoire spans the diversity of Malian music. The orchestra's purpose is the revitalization of Malian musical heritage by the training, the supervision, and the production of albums for needy up and coming musicians.[1]
