„ Irgendwann , mitten im Konzert, weiß der Zuschauer plötzlich nicht mehr, wo er hinschauen soll. Musikalischer Mittelpunkt ist natürlich Bassekou Kouyate, der eindeutige Chef seiner Band. Währenddessen aber zeigt hinten der Percussionist die wildesten Tanzschritte. Spätestens da wird klar: Die Show der Band aus Mali in der Berliner Kulturbrauerei ist eines der besten Konzerte in diesem Frühjahr.“ Oranienburger Generalanzeiger
“Bassekou Kouyate is Mali’s latest superstar” **** The Guardian (UK)
“...dynamic stage presence that exploded with glorious combinations of the ngoni.” El Mundo (Spain)

“Bassekou was the best artist of our festival definitely” Rob Lokin – Festival Director, AfrikaFestival, Hertme, Holland
“…Mali’s Bassekou Kouyaté divined miraculous intricacies from the strings of his ngoni…” Pete Paphides, The Times (UK) on Bassekou’s appearance at Africa Express, Liverpool March 2008
"In the five year history of the festival and of some 200 groups, Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba is number one!" Yusuf Mahmoud - Festival Director, Sauti zu Busara Festival (Zanzibar)
"First there was african tribal music which evolved into slave songs which became the blues which gave birth to the funk. Bassekou and his band tell the whole of this journey in one chapter. The most delicious mix of the finest musical ingredients make a stew that warms the heart and shakes the hips. Trust me, it tastes good!" Fatboy Slim (Mali 2006)
