As I understand the requirement of attribution, it's to the person, not
the web site that makes the work available. If the person requested a
particular form of attribution which now includes a link to a broken
website, then I guess that's that person's problem and not yours.
(Someone please correct me quickly and forcefully if I'm wrong about
this.)
It would sure be nice to everyone involved if you did look for a newer
link, but I don't think you're really obligated to.
If you do find the musician in question, you might want to point them to
Jamendo, who seem to be a bunch of nice guys and say they'll host the
music forever, though.
