Babatouti-

Thanks for the correction. It was a fabulous night and glad it is shared around the world.

Greetings from Hanover, Germany to NYC, Damrosch Park/Lincoln Center.

This guy is big and a great artist in his own right. He is a composer, a drummer, a guitar player and a talking drums player (does all of them justice) beside having his special accoustic albums. The western part should really look at such musicians too considering its only your great jazz musicians that can appreciate this kind of guy.

Hi southothehighway, just a little correction: he's not from Burkina Faso, but from Senegal :-)

[southothehighway]

I was there and it was an awesome rendition. Reminded me of the old days with long form music. For a guy from Burkina Faso, he really captured James Brown
