The recording kicked off a successful run of classic and new recordings from artists across Africa, being made available for the first time in the international marketplace. ATFA makes it possible for artists to expand their fanbases and revenues streams with legally licensed recordings and a 50\/50 profit split. For its 50th release, ATFA presents iconic Malian singer Nahawa Doumbia’s beloved Vol. 2.   Released on LP in 1982 and Unavailable outside Mali until now, Vol. 2 is an intimate yet powerful document of the early efforts of one of Mali’s most enduring voices. Four decades of worldwide acclaim later, Doumbia is still touring the world blowing minds with her achingly emphatic singing backed by her partner guitarist N’gou Bagayoko. Vol. 2 is stark in its instrumentation—simply featuring voice and acoustic guitar—but massive in its sonic impact.  Painstakingly extracted and remastered from LP by longtime ATFA audio engineer collaborator Jessica Thompson, this is the first time this recording has been cleaned-up for wider release. The master recording no longer exists and the original was pressed at relatively inferior quality, heightening the difficulty of presenting Vol. 2 with clarified audio. The historic recording was worth the effort.  Doumbia’s voice soars above Bagayoko’s guitar as she lays out her plaintive approach to expressing relevant topics of the day. The room sound could be considered the third instrument as its shape and sonic affect is vibrantly apparent throughout. And the simplicity of this recording only enhances the immediacy of these four songs. As a bookend to both Doumbia’s long career and ATFA’s growing catalog, Vol. 2 is a grand yet unpretentious encapsulation of the energy behind this decade-long collaboration between artist and label.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-headLineXL title_1q3xW css-12sap66\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"link_15cpV\"\u003eNa Hawa Doumbia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e–\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVol 2\u003cpicture\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"info_23nnx\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table_1fWaB\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-labelSmall css-1kybk0l\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-labelSmall css-1kybk0l\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAwesome Tapes From Africa  \u003c\/span\u003e– ATFA050\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-labelSmall css-1kybk0l\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eVinyl\u003cspan class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-labelSmall css-1kybk0l\"\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-labelSmall css-1kybk0l\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMali\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-labelSmall css-1kybk0l\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"1982\"\u003e1982 \/ 2024\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-labelSmall css-1kybk0l\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFolk, World, \u0026amp;
