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.

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.

There are some things around us that are not actually useful. I didn't know that before. It's very new for me to understand. That became my way of writing: I can see also the new myself.

I wanted to come back to the guitar after three albums and almost 10 years. I started to miss this instrument and I wanted to come back to the guitar.

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.

I used to play guitar for myself and write lyrics and listen to different styles of music.
