Here is a full version of the title song from the film Bamako?
And unrelated except by virtue of an amazing song, via the great Likembe blog, is a 70's Somali song that absolutely fucking rocks:
UPdate a few days later: Thanks Ngoniba for the sleuthing-- Christy Azuma & Uppers International from (didn't see this coming) Ghana! In the film the character and singer Mele is from Senegal* but married and living in Mali, and apparently singing a Ghanaian song. The track can be found on Ghana Soundz Vol. 2. Some searching will yield a copy.
Enjoy!
