The @WSJ on Bassekou Kouyate & Rokia Traore: Evoking tradition and simultaneously moving beyond it is no easy balancing act. To do it requires creative thinking that may not generate new gadgets, technology or business phenoms. But if it gives the human mind more to work with, we're getting somewhere.

Two innovative Malian artists, Bassekou Kouyate and Rokia Traore, both part of Lincoln Center’s White Light Festival, in today’s WSJ.

It’s not just the innovative virtuosity, but also Ballake Sissoko & Vincent Segal’s obvious affection for each other that made tonight’s Chamber Music concert so special. A fantastic beginning to Live Sound’s Live@365 Tuesday night series at CUNY Graduate Center’s Elebash Concert Hall
