The Chico World Music Festival brought many interesting artists and vendors this weekend to the Chico State campus. This Davis-based, West African-born trinket collector, Mamadou Traore, sold woven baskets, glass beads and jewlery, and fertility statues. He spoke to each customer in a calm voice, like an old friend. He happily offered a free licorice chewing stick even if a purchase wasn't made.
