about
(Forever)
For almost 30 years, thanks to music, I had the good fortune to see you regularly during concerts around the world. I would like to thank God for our long life and for giving us the opportunity to bring people together with joy and compassion... as in the great Mandingo family of Kela*.
*Kela is a Malian village of about 2,000 inhabitants, located 30 km south of Bamako, on the road to Guinea. Only families of ‘griots’ (oral poets, storytellers and musicians) live there and the village remains the centre of Mandingo culture.
(Pour toujours….)
Depuis près de 30 ans ! de par le monde et grâce à la musique, j’ai eu la chance de vous revoir régulièrement, le temps d'un concert
Je voudrais remercier Dieu de nous avoir donné la longévité et l'opportunité de nous réunir avec joie et compassion… comme dans la grande famille Mandingue de Kela*.

"Rise & Shine" reflects how far the band has come in the past few years, realizing a unique and seamlessly coherent sound: a fusion of traditional West African music and roots reggae. Habib Koite
Nahawa Doumbia has a beautiful voice that fits perfectly with the arrangements accompanying her on these songs. What is there not to love in this album? It's all beauty. Thibaut Devigne
The groove on Badala is an absolute monster. If this doesn't move you, you might as well check yourself into the ER to make sure you aren't dead because the groove is DEEP and HARD. Polygondwanajams
