Mali to Memphis, a double-bill show Wednesday night 2/16 at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, explores the musical links between West Africa and the Mississippi Delta, with the help of a pair of first-class guitarists. Habib Koite, from Mali, specializes in hypnotic, earthy grooves full of African origins and contemporary Western influences. Guy Davis, the son of Ruby Dee and the late Ossie Davis, mixes folk, gospel and storytelling with his rootsy blues. Davis' Legacy CD landed on several critics' lists of the best albums of 2004. The show is at 8 p.m; tickets are $19.50 and $32.50. Call (813) 229-7827 or go to www.tbpac.org
