I can introduce new parts because when you are on stage in front of a very happy audience or people who love what you are doing, you are able to do extraordinary things that you yourself didn't think you could do before.

Of course I am stressed after I finish working on an album about what an audience will think, if it will be successful or not.

The interesting thing for me is to put together all my influences and all my experiences I got through my traveling with my father.

We need self-confidence in our ability to build Africa. I trust in Mali and I trust in music.

I'm in a state of my life when the essential is very important to me. I don't like long songs with complicated arrangements and breaks anymore.

The audiences are really different in general. Even in the same country or in the same city, from one venue to another, the audiences can be totally different.

Of course the folk guitar is the one I play very often, but I wanted a more electric sound.
