Last night I went to a great performance with one of my favorite African artists, Habib Koite. The concert was a beautiful intra-African collaboration and melding of West African and South African talents. Featuring the guitar stylings of both Habib and Afel Boucom from Mali and Oliver Mtukudzi of Zimbabwe, the show was a rare treat. Tuku, Wassoulou and Tuareg sounds and rhythms were played by a musical group that included both the N'Goni (Malian guitar predecessor) and M'Bira (thumb piano). Take a listen to parts of two songs above.
