They were reminiscent of La Bottine Souriante who I have been listening to for years. Part of their ensemble is a hurdygurdy player which adds a sweet tone. Also there was Ali Farka Tour\u00e9&#8217;s son &#8211; Vieux Farka Tour\u00e9 of Mali. Again, I&#8217;ve been a fan of Malian guitarists for quite some time (especially Vieux&#8217;s father Ali and Habib Koit\u00e9). Both gave great sets!
