Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

9. Maliba

The Malian genius. He has played Takamba music, in an incredible way. Takamba isnโ€™t just a Malian music, itโ€™s the music of all the nomads, of the whole of the Sahel if you like, with amazing dancing that we do too. But generally, I love his solos and his guitar sound, and the pedals he uses are really exceptional. I havenโ€™t had much internet access recently because we have problems with the connection but normally, heโ€™s someone I listen to a lot.
