This second release of Sourakata Koite with Keytone Records is named after the instrument that he has played since his early youth. Though Koite currently lives in France and performs all over the world, his ‘roots’ travel with him in his World Music played on the Kora, a traditional African string instrument.
Koite learned to play kora and balafon as a child, having been born into a griot family. He played in various hotel and club bands in Dakar, northern France, and Paris starting in 1975. His Paris gig made him a popular attraction on the European festival circuit in the 1980s. - Steve Huey
