| | Habib Koité : Muso Ko - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | That smash, which made Koite a superstar in that part of the world, is among the 11 gems heard on his first album, Muso Ko--a CD that was first released in West Africa in 1995 and was reissued in the U.S. by Alula in 1999. |
 | | In Mali, Muso Ko was praised for its often topical lyrics, and in Europe, world beat enthusiasts found themselves drawn to the evocative, soulful sound of his music--you can have no knowledge of West African dialects and still be captivated by Muso Ko's haunting melodies and addictive rhythms. |
 | | For those with even a casual interest in African pop, Muso Ko is essential listening. |
