Interview with Habib Koite; One of Mali's Guitar Greats

Published: Oct. 30, 2017, 11:20 a.m.

b"Recorded over the phone, with Habib in Bamako and myself in North London, we talk about Habib's ethos as a musician and his relationship with his home country, Mali. We also take a look over some of the songs from his new, soothing yet diverse album, S\\xf6o. Forgive the audio quality, phone conversations are a nightmare for interviews, especially transcontinental ones. Make sure you catch what will undoubtedly be an amazing live show at Nell's Jazz and Blues on 16th of October.\\nhttps://www.seetickets.com/event/habib-koite/nells-jazz-blues/1091803 \\nSongs:\\nHabib Koite - Wassiye\\nHabib Koite - S\\xf4o\\nHabib Koite and Eric Bibb - Touma Ni Kelen\\nHabib Koite - Cigarette Abana"
