To reveal to the world all the musical riches of Mali, and more particularly the music of the Mandé
region, cradle of the great griot families, is the highly laudable purpose of this LP The Lost Maestros
Collection. To perpetuate and transmit this ancestral musical history, The Lost Maestros Collection
brings together 8 wonders of Mali who have each in their own way managed to develop this tradition
towards more modern and electrified countries and associates pioneers of Mandingo music and actors
of the young post generation.
The Lost Maestros Collection is the result of the collaboration between Deviation Records, newly
created by Phil Margueron and the independent Malian label Mieruba, which has been working since
2010 to ensure that this golden age of Mande music does not fall into oblivion. Aware that these
nuggets are not eternal, Mieruba, based in Ségou on the banks of the Niger river and capital of the
former Bambara kingdom, undertook for eight years the preservation of this musical heritage by putting
these 16 pieces on tapes at the Kôré studio de Ségou as well as at the famous Bogolan studio in
Bamako.
