Habib Koite

Three standard bearers of West African musical traditions come together to celebrate Mande Sila: the way of the Mandingo empire, symbolizing languages, cultures, music, and the entire organology of West Africa. Malian guitar player Habib Koite, kora player Lamine Cissokho, and balafon master Aly Keita are linked by the same cultural heritage; a melting pot that inspires their compositions. Theyll be joined by percussionist Mama Kone.
