First, about Austin City Lights for those who aren’t aware:
Great music. No limits. Now the longest-running music series in American television history, ACL showcases popular music legends and innovators from every genre. In addition to being honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum as a rock and roll landmark, ACL is the only television program to ever receive the National Medal of Arts, the nation’s highest award for artistic excellence.
This was taped late last year but aired only yesterday. Above is the full episode of K’Naan and Mos Def’s performance and interview on the famed show. After the jump, I’ve included both artists’ set list for the night.
*Update: I’m not being able to switch off the video’s autoplay so I slid it after the jump.
K’Naan:
* ABC’s

* Take a Minute
