We are less one of the greatest musicians to ever walk the banks of the
River Niger.
I recently got a CD of his early broadcasts on Radio Mali. He was not
only a brilliant guitarist and master of Mali styles, but believed that
no matter how famous or rich he got his he had a duty to his people. An
amazing man and an inspiration.
