Acoustic Africa featuring Habib Koité At The Cedar
This second installment of the exhilarating musical journey to Acoustic Africa focuses on the richness of the African guitar tradition.

The three artists, backed by a traditional African band, unite in song in a collaborative performance that honors their African heritage while simultaneously pushing at contemporary musical boundaries.
