It's a great experience just to understand that finally being well known is not the most important thing.

American audiences don't react in the same way as European ones to African music because, I think, Europeans listen to this music through all the festivals that exist here.

Traveling changed my personality and gave me ability to do the music I do and to think in a certain way that everything can be possible.

I don't think I'm unique or that I'm trying to do something unique, but I feel it is something I would like to hear. This kind of music I would like to listen to but I can't hear very often.

I don't know if it's due to my age, that I'm older now, [but] I love the essentials. I don't like the things around us that are a kind of mirage.

When you are able to make a living with your job as an artist, that means you have an audience and you have to thank this audience.

You can't be unique any way. Music is made from seven notes. You will always come back to something. Even if you think you are unique, you will come back to something that existed before you were doing what you are doing.
