Lionel Loueke was 17 when he first picked up the guitar in his native Benin, in West Africa. A few years later, he was playing and recording with big names in American jazz: first trumpeter Terence Blanchard and then pianist Herbie Hancock. Today he'll perform pieces from his new album, Mwaliko, whose roster of guests includes singer Angelique Kidjo and vocalist/bassist Esperanza Spalding.
