Habib Koité & Bamada - Muso Ko

Geez, what are the chances? Another record from Mali. This is the re-re-issued edition from 2001, but originally this album was released in West Africa in 1995,totally not amusing the tobacco industry when his anti-smoking single 'Cigarette a Bana' (No More Cigarette) became a huge hit all over West Africa.
That is not where I know this guy from though. Amongst other things I collect like every single CD released by Putumayo World Music and 99% of those are various artist albums. Habib is one of few artists that had a full CD released by this label.

Not the best quality clip, but this is the original from Africa. The rest of the album is less worldbeat though and more traditional.
