Five Great Guitars is a collaboration among master guitarists from various musical directions and cultures. Together they shed light on all the nuances of the modern guitar. In the programme African Blues, dedicated to the West-African music culture, the special guest is Habib Koité. He became world famous with his band Bamada. His unique style of playing was influenced by flamenco and blues, and sometimes his guitar sounds like an African harp.
