That music was speaking to us and we could find some kind of spitting images of our own African music. We got inspired to meld their ingredients to our own music. Did you learn to play those wicked blues-rock guitar licks from those records or was it from listening to the blues music of Mali?It’s a story of fusion. The influences are partly the tradition of Malian blues but also influences we got from listening to a lot of those bands. A lot of people coming to your music don’t understand the French lyrics. They just like the sound. Does it bother you that they’re missing the messages?It doesn’t really annoy us.
The blues from Mississippi to Mali

controlComments(content);art. 05 2009 05:05PM EDT”Y’all ready for some blues?” That’s a question that’s often asked at a festival or in a funky Chicago room usually by a presenter of some sort of gregarious blues music. It’s a trite crowd-exciter but it’s also a proprietary matter with a performer self-defining a genre to his liking in a way that lets an audience know that what’s being played is the “real deal” variety and that you should accept no substitute.
