Playing guitar and singing in Rock groups in the 80s, Marc Minelli was at first a fan of 60's British bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He was always open to other musical forms, and he heard and admired Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade in Paris in the early 80's. It was not until the late 90's that Marc began to listen seriously to Jazz. Even so, his first influences were not musicians of his own generation but were John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Charles Mingus.
In Morocco, Marc Minelli played guitar with the Gnawas singers. Uninhibited by genre boundaries, he was opened to the encouragement of Paris-based producer/manager, Marc Antoine Moreau to consider World music. He was introduced to Malian singer Mamani Keita, a former backing singer for Salif Keita. Minelli used tapes that Keita had recorded with a Malian guitarist as the basis for some original compositions in a Jazz style. The result, 2002’s Electro Bamako, attracted a lot of favorable comment.
Jazzy and rhythmic, featuring hip electric guitar, slick drum loops and cool vocal samples to create a mood that is both ethnic and urban. Works well for blaxploitation or vintage espionage scenes. Mixed Vocals, Action, Action Moderate Ethnic
