One of my favourite singers is finally touring again and he's playing in London and Reading next week.
I saw him in concert once 20 years ago and have bought all his albums since. Here's a description :
"One of Africa’s most respected guitarists Habib Koite gives his first UK performances in a decade joined by his band Bamada.
His music is rooted in Malian and West African rhythms and melodies, while embracing a variety of musical styles including blues, flamenco and Afro-Cuban. Habib’s cadenced vocals come in eight languages from Bambara and Mandinka, to French and Spanish."
