As influences and sounds from the West drifted over the Atlantic, Malian musicians began hearing artists like John Lee Hooker, Wilson Pickett, Johnny Pacheco, Celia Cruz and James Brown. Elements and ideas from blues, soul, rock and funk led to bands covering artists they'd heard from these genres. The Tjiwara Band de Kati's raw cover version of Pickett's soul \/ R\u0026amp;B classic 'In The Midnight Hour' and the James Brown funk-channelling cut 'Get Up James' from Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako, are two such examples featured on this compilation.\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eMost bands also relied on playing in hotels in Mali's capital, Bamako, which naturally became where they honed their sound.
