No place outside the Delta has produced such beautiful, soulful blues music as Mali. Born in the lineage of African griots (storytellers), Habib Koité is one of the most recognized names in this pentatonic soundform. His last record, Fôly! Live Around the World, gorgeously captured the mastery of his band Bamada. The two-record set is an astounding souvenir, but his appearance tonight at S.O.B.'s is the memento you'll never lose. Singer Bonnie Raitt once said she'd drink Koité's sweat; we don't advocate such drastic (or gross) measures, but attendance is mandatory for any fan of African music. (DB)
