It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

West African guitarist Lionel Loueke was inspired by his brother, who taught him how to play during his late teenage years. Stops at the Ivory Coast's National Institute of Arts, Paris' American School of More Than Music, and Berklee College of Music led Loueke to appearances on a series of high-profile recordings, including Terence Blanchard's Bounce and Flow, Charlie Haden's Land of the Sun, and Herbie Hancock's Possibilities. Apart from his role in the trio Gilfema (with bassist Massimo Biolcati and drummer Ferenc Nemeth), Loueke has recorded on his own, including the live In a Trance and Virgin Forest. He released his first Blue Note album, Karibu, in 2008. In 2009 Loueke guested on Magos Herrera's album Distancia. His second album for Blue Note, Mwaliko, appeared in early 2010. In 2012, Loueke released the trio album Heritage, which was produced by and features contributions from acclaimed jazz pianist Robert Glasper. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
Proud to be from the same country and proud to have metting him on few occasions. Great person and that transcends in his music... Awadjidjè (meaning happyness in Fongbé, his native tongue)
Fabulous artist; tight trio with a pure sound. I would recommend them highly to all straight up jazz listeners. Thank you Pandora for introducing them to me.
Lionel ROCKS!!! Don't sleep on him! I saw him backing up Herbie Hancock and also do his own trio set at the Playboy Jazz festival. This dude took Herbie Hancock to school when he was dueling on solos with him if you can believe that! Simply Amazing player. Highly recommended.
