The record label says: This set features live recordings made during 2001 and 2002 by Koite and his band. The 18 tracks on this specially-priced double album feature selections from Koité's three CDs. Hailed as the 'African Eric Clapton,' Koité's music combines Malian tradition with Western influences, proving that one does not have to forsake the past in order to grow, and that the modern world, for all of its benefits, needs to keep its links to the folklore, mythology and history of the people in order for it to retain its soul. 2 CD set.

"For those unfamiliar with Koité, or those unlucky enough never to have seen him perform, Fôly conveys the onstage excitement that he generates, from his good-natured multilingual bantering with the crowd, to his smooth guitar lines and compelling vocal delivery. Fôly is thus an essential Koité title." - Michael Stone, RootsWorld "Habib’s stunning guitar work does not replicate the sounds of kora and ngoni but, by judicious tuning, he conveys the soul of traditional griot instrument." - The Beat |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
