This is a gem.
Bassekou Kouyaté is Mali's leading player of the ngoni, a simple desert lute that looks like a stocky cricket bat.
It's West Africa's oldest string instrument and the ancestor of the banjo.
One of the most gorgeous tracks is an instrumental with Toumani Diabate on kora.
Laid-back music of the highest order.
