Because this note is not about Kate, I'll keep it brief. Since many of you
are well-versed in obscure (to the US) music, I hoped that someone could
give me some information about a song I recently heard and liked. The
singer was from Mali; the name of the artist *sounded like* Mori Cantay,
and the name of the song quite improbably *sounded like* "Beach Allah."
If anyone can give me accurate spellings and/or even better, information on
where I could get a tape of same, please drop me a line. Regards, and
thanks, Paul Dolber (dolber@cs.duke.edu).

His name is Mori Kante - retty close to your spelling.  Don't know what label he's on, but try looking for british imports for 'Something Inside So Strong' which he had a hit in the UK with 1 or 2 years ago

Brian May (brian@ditmela.oz).

Not sure about your spelling, however, see if you can get a copy of a UK
radio series called "Now that is what I call Mali". It is a documentary
about a trip to Mali to find Mory Cante (sp?), and Ali [ something I 
can't spell like Faqu-turi ]. It was made by the BBC about 10 months ago,
and has been broadcast here  on Radio 4 at least twice. Unfortunately I never 
bothered to tape it. 
Try contacting the "Duty Office" of the BBC in London, to see if they 
can help, either with a copy of the program, or with album numbers so
you can get the records.
