Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba at the Jools Holland 2007

[dweebcentric]

i love that there's a few different stages on jools. and first, you see rilo kiley, all tuned up and plugged in and waiting. then you see these guys, with rougher made instruments, and unplugged. and sounding just as wonderful!

[sleepyhedp]

[sleepyhedp]
