HABIB KOITE & BAMADA S.O.B.’s, 204 Varick, 212.243.4940
Mali’s international star, guitarist-vocalist Koité has stretched far outside his roots of Malian griot music. With influences of Western pop, flamenco, blues, and a heart dose of Afro-pop, Koité’s wonderfully written songs are driven by African super-group Bamada – pulsing, trancey percussion (á la Fela and/or Thomas Mapfumo) with colorful slithering guitar lines. This intimate setting should be magical. At 8 & 10. $$ BOSLER 02/11/04
