N’Teri: Habib Koite

I haven’t taken you anywhere lately. With Ghana on my mind, I thought I’d bring you to Africa.

Hanin Kote is from Mali. N’Teri is a simple song of thanks “with lush orchestration and background vocalists, as well as an array of native African instruments such as the balofon and n’goni.”
