Habib Koite - IMN World |
 | | Habib was headed for a career as an engineer, but on the insistence of his uncle, who recognized Habib's musical talent, he enrolled at the National Institute of Arts (INA) in Bamako, Mali. |
 | | Habib is unique because he brings together different styles, creating a new pan-Malian approach that reflects his open-minded interest in all types of music. |
 | | Habib's music proves that we do not have to forsake the past in order to develop, and that the modern world, for all of its benefits, needs to keep its links to the folklore, mythology and history of the people in order for it to retain its soul. |
