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'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.

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

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.

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

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

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