Bassekou Kouyate live video from Afropop's 25th Anniversary Gala!
Back in September, Afropop Worldwide celebrated our 25th anniversary in style, with a <a href="https://afropop.test.ejaedesign.com/wp/13872/afropops-25th-anniversary-gala-one-for-the-history-books/" target="_blank">gala concert at City Winery</a> featuring many of our favorite musicians, including Malian <em>ngoni</em> virtuoso Bassekou Kouyate and his band Ngoni Ba. They played a bring-down-the-house set to close the night, one for the history books!
Thankfully, our partners at <a href="http://bkindiemedia.bricartsmedia.org/" target="_blank">BRIC</a> (Brooklyn Independent Media) filmed the entire concert in beautiful, multi-camera HD, and Bassekou's entire set is now available for your viewing pleasure! If you missed the gala, or want to relieve the amazing music, this one's for you:
