Shuffle Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 you need to check out bombino...just google his stuff, he's probably one of my favourite current guitarists...great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Habib Koite's a pretty spectacular West African guitarist: I used to be in a choir that did a lot of South African vocal stuff and as a result I have a huge soft spot for these guys, think they represent the best of South Africa, a real mix of people celebrating their culture, and they sound fantastic together.
