Blind Malian singing duo Amadou Bagayoko (R) and Mariam Doumbia smile while walking around their neighborhood in Bamako, Mali January 25, 2006. Thirty years after they met and fell in love through music, Amadou and Mariam have swept onto the international stage with their soothing message of peace, harmony and hope. [With a Grammy nomination, concert tours, and a flurry of media interviews], the couple have had little time for themselves since their album "Dimanche a Bamako" (Sunday in Bamako) won rave reviews in Europe and the United States last year.
