Shortwave broadcaster, Radio Mali (West Africa) with some interesting music, multiple ID's and some anomalies... recorded 08:00 GMT / 03:00 EST on January 12, 2025.
Recording starts with a messed up sign on at 08:00 GMT. Listen to the guitar, the playback speed is off. This is an analog error by the station of some sort. Later in this recording they get it right so you can hear the difference.
After their broadcast started, the first 30 minutes was all talk, mostly in Arabic, so I did NOT record that segment.
I resumed recording at about 08:30 GMT (starts at the 48 second mark) just in time for their sign off of for the first half of their broadcast.

BTW, the sign on at the 2 minute mark has a nice dramatic flourish.
At 08:32 GMT they signed back on (in French) and played all music for the second half of the broadcast.
09:00 GMT they signed back out. Music over. I stopped recording. Clip ends.
Many ID's given during the broadcast in French.
