    The African music superstars Amadou & Mariam are the subject

    which goes on selected release in cinemas throughout the UK & Ireland

    The hour-long film was shot in Amadou & Mariam's native Mali during
    the summer of 2004 and chronicles the making of their
    album, `Dimanche à Bamako', Africa's biggest global hit of 2005.

    The album – which reached number two in the French charts - has now
    sold over 500,000 copies around the world and is still gaining
    momentum.

    The film includes special behind-the scenes footage of Amadou &
    Mariam in the studio with the legendary French-Latin artist and
    producer Manu Chao. The film's soundtrack features the hits `Sénégal
    Fast Food', `La Realité' and `Coulibaly' plus `Kira', an unreleased
    song performed live by Manu Chao.

    `Dimanche à Bamako' was directed by Marc-Antoine Moreau and is in
    French and the Malian language, Bambara, with English sub-titles.

    The screenings correspond with Amadou & Mariam's UK shows on the
    twelve-date African Soul Rebels UK Tour 2006 with Souad Massi and
    Emmanuel Jal (just Emmanuel Jal for Olympia show).

    Amadou & Mariam have also been shortlisted for two BBC Radio 3 Awards
    for World Music, the results of which to be announced on 25th
    February with an Award Winners concert at London's Brixton Academy on
    7th April 2006.

    The duo have also been nominated for the `Best Contemporary World
    Music Album' Grammy Award in America, the winners of which will also
    be revealed in February 2006.
