No-one should ever underestimate the impact on the band that an engaged and excited audience can have and when you have a band with the presence and joy that Ngoni ba bring to the audience you get a positive feedback loop of the best kind.
Since the first time I saw Kouyate in a tiny club near Regent Street and through performances at Cargo The Barbican and others this was the most confident and also the happiest I had ever seen him and his band/family.
The Jazz cafe was absolutely heaving with the temperature inside heading for ‘Sticky’ even before Ngoni Ba started down the stairs to the stage following their leader who was playing a simple unaccompanied Ngoni.
