5.0 out of 5 stars The most engaging Malian musician, September 21, 2000
By 
This review is from: Muso Ko (Audio CD)
Muso Ko (Talking of Women) is a wonderful album, a little less produced than the recent Ma Ya, but just as polished. Koite takes traditional rhythms and combines them with western pop structure to create upbeat (but never cheesy), joyful songs. Exploring the middle ground between tradition and Afro-pop agrees with Koite: he was trained as a classical guitarist but grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and the Rolling Stones. He comes from a musical family, and shares his roots in Kayi with Boubacar "Kar Kar" Traore, the mournful desert bluesman. Koite loves Mali, and has no plans to leave it for Europe or America like some of his fellow African musicians. His songs discuss love, social values, fatherhood, and national pride. He tours the US and Canada at the end of 2000, so don't miss him - he puts on a great live show! If you like Habib Koite, you should also check out Cheikh Lo and Henri Dikongue, who also make modern, fresh music using traditional rhythms and melodies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure joy., March 11, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Muso Ko (Audio CD)
I've worn out my first copy. Language need not be a barrier to anyone. I use this music with my special education pre-school class; it inspires instant bliss, which is preferable to a time out any day. Gorgeous layers of sound and lyrics. See them in concert if you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Beautiful., July 7, 2007
This review is from: Muso Ko (Audio CD)
A couple of Kabib Koite songs came stock with my new computer, and the soothing rhythms, vocals and well, amazing musicality stunned me. He is now one of my favorite artists. His music is so completely human it can be instantly recognized and appreciated by a ear of any nationality.
