working with African musicians

Was there a statement in your working with African musicians, at a time when the West seems to be badly fumbling our responsibility to that continent ?

Yes, not so conscious though. I asked both Konono N°1 and Toumani Diabaté [to play] because of their brilliant musicianship and it was a coincidence they where both from Africa.
