Toumani Diabate was scheduled to open, but cancelled due to illness (?malaria?) and was not replaced. Presumably we got a longer show from Amadou & Mariam as a result. Most of the song titles are guesses – my command of French is quite poor, and my ability to transliterate african verses to roman letters is even more suspect.
