One of Africa’s hottest bands tells us their story: from escaping civil war and a ban on music in their home country to touring the world. They’ve worked with the likes of Damon Albarn’s Africa Express, Iggy Pop and may soon collaborate with guitar hero Nile Rodgers. We discuss how they see themselves as more like a western band, their new music and the misconceptions of Timbuktu. And we talk football: from the crisis in Malian domestic football to African players getting ripped off hunting their dream of playing in Europe.
