Amadou and Mariam linked up with Fader TV for a stripped-down performance of two gems from Folila — out tomorrow on Nonesuch Records. It's kind of a testament to the tunes' strength, and the duo's performance, that the songs' vibrant warmth come through in a New York office and on what looks like a frigid winter day. Watch "Oh Amadou" and "Wily Kataso" above and below, and check out our own recent behind-the-scenes with Amadou & Marian plus TV on the Radio at their music video shoot.
