For me, each time I'm on stage, each time I'm working on a new album, it's like a dream. I can't believe it's happening.
Rokia TraoreI 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.
Rokia TraoreMy influences are jazz, blues, European classical music; they are rock music and pop music. So many kinds of music. World music from different countries like India and China. I think that would be a shame not to take advantage and do something... not unique, because I don't have this pretension.
Rokia TraoreWe're repeating the same things all the time; there aren't many new things happening in this life.
