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

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, Söo. 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. https://www.seetickets.com/event/habib-koite/nells-jazz-blues/1091803 Songs: Habib Koite - Wassiye Habib Koite - Sôo Habib Koite and Eric Bibb - Touma Ni Kelen Habib Koite - Cigarette Abana
