Midwest Record, CD Review >>
HABIB KOITE/Afriki: Yep, there’s world beat and there’s world beat. When you’re pals with Bonnie Raitt and Pee Wee Ellis as well as appear on David Letterman, you have to be that extra kind of world beat, like Koite is. Keeping in the griot tradition of his native Mali, Koite is a traditionalist that wants to push the boundaries as forward as he can. This album was slow in coming and the time it took to make it right is evident. A real ear opener of a set, this is music for the heart, mind and feet. A tasty excursion to Africa with a sure footed guide world beaters are sure to dig.
