These two are an amazing blind couple from Mali who do just about the funkiest fusiony stuff I've ever heard. They sing and play guitar. Check out the album *Dimanche a Bamako*, produced by Manu Chao. (OKAY, the first person to use the word *obsessed* gets an e-slap, I swear. Denial? That would be a river in Egypt, no?) Anyway, absolute phenomenon of an album; it's been making me very happy.
Chek out their official site, complete with track samples:

I'd love for them to come to Vancouver, but I'm not holding my breath.
