Nice.. There are so many Farafinas now, I think every original member has their own one.. Think thats fara interntional i.e. only the flute player is original.. There is also Fara d'yelemba and Fara lilia in Bobo.. Its quite confusing.

this is the original farafina, but it's a bit like a school where a lot of talented musicians start, so very few of the original members remain.

Original....Thats what the others said.. I think whats commonly reffered to as original is Fasou Denou line up.. I heard some of their later stuff when they used more western instruments..

There is a good vid about farafina lilia on vimeo.. Mama konate has a go at 'original' for selling out.. They all sound good to me though.
