"He's one of the blues guys in Mali. Not everyone knows him but one of his tracks ['BèrèBèrè'] was on [the movie] Black Panther, with Ali Farka Touré. I've had this record seven years now and I still listen to it. It's one of those records you don't get bored of. His sound is different to Salif [Keita], to all the male artists in Mali. There's something very different in his style. He's quite modern but at the same time, traditional."

"Two great films about the search for meaning in the face of death. The scenes in which the main characters come to terms with their existence—the scene on the swing in the park with the snow falling in Ikiru, and the final scene in Wild Strawberries, where the main character calls across time to his parents and the past—are so powerful and beautiful. It saddens me that most modern-day films don’t approach this level of art and emotion."
