the birds singing along :) so beautiful, I could listen to this forever!

I'm listening in 2023 in San Diego. Just went to kora concert at Coronado library & it brought me to tears...

One of those rare moments you need a super like button

The bird noises and baby noises in the background go so well with the music

Bravo et merci infiniment pour ce bijou musical. Ma fille de 2 ans vous écoute tous les soirs pour s'endormir et je rêve d'assister a l'un de vos concerts. Votre musique apporte la paix dans les coeurs.

When I lived in Istanbul, Turkey during the 1960s, I heard many genres of music, Turkish, French, English, Italian, etc. I knew then that the world would be united by music. It is the universal language. Since then, I have lived in India [8 years] and Japan [one summer]and Hawaii [14 years] and California [4 years]. Now I fully embrace all good music, including European classical and Euro-pop, Gypsy Jazz manouch, Bossa nova, Hawaiian, Jazz, Mo-town, etc.

If musicians were leading this world,there won't be any war because they will always create harmony out of differences.

I am praying that we can all learn to live together with the same harmony these two play together. What a blessing this is...my soul needed this release today.

Quel magnifique duo, c'est toujours un plaisir de les voir jouer ensemble. Une connexion pleine de grâce, de poésie et une complicité toute en pudeur. J'adore !

The sound of the Kora is magic but together with the cello, it's beyond that. Thank you to both splendid musicians.

The birds really had something to the performance.

Even the birds felt this was a special moment

Ballake's connection with his instrument is so beautiful ! It is like an extension of his soul. Also, the way they blend each other craft is the epitome of pure friendship a mutual admiration. Thank the universe for this !

this is beautiful multiculturalism. this is what happens when u open your heart to peace and love onto a fellow man. and its delightful

Imagine it’s the 14th century and you live in the city of Timbuktu. You just finished a long day of hard work and you walk into a tavern and hear this majestic music.

farklı coğrafyalar, farklı kültürler,farklı enstrümanlar ve mükemmel bir uyum...

Сегодня слышу в первый раз и не могу оторваться... Вот она настоящая ЖИВАЯ музыка ! Спасибо Вам ! Россия

Aquí en Argentina...en la cuarentena centenaria .... escuchándolos. Un placer!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love how the birds got into it, and added to the delight too !

The performance is alive even after it was showcased or staged nine years ago. What an astounding sound performance ! Stay blessed to play more....

Why do people have to politicise everything in stead of appreciating the music for what it is -- an art form ? When I lived in Libya in the early 60s ( pre Kaddafi ) I had an Arab friend who heard me playing Israeli folk songs on my record player, and when I went to turn it off so as not to offend him, he said "No, leave it. It is good music." I said " But is Israeli music! " He said " Malish! ( Never mind!) Israeli or Arabi - Music is music. Leave it on."

That instrument played with such wonder by Sissoko...is beyond dream.

Una caricia para mis sentidos ❤ Gracias por tan bella música

Quel plaisir d’entendre et voir. Une complicité sans barrière culturelle ni politique. Juste la recherche de l’harmonie, la beauté et le plaisir de la musique. Merci 🙏

The magical union with the energy around them is palpable even in a concert recorded on video years later. The kids and the birds are all in harmony with them and vice versa. What beautiful musicians . Wow.

The way the music blended in with the nature around them was beautiful. These two are amazing musicians in their own right, and their energy as a duo is overwhelming

In 1972 I went to The Gambia to study the kora with Jali Nyama Suso. So yeah I’m watching this i the time of Corona 2020.

wondering who is watching this in 2020 !

Every time I hear any rendition of this duet, I weep. The difference between composition and play, the sound and the song, the words and the discussion, I am grateful for your mastery of voice, and the grace of your friendship. Even the birds rejoice.

Such gentle music. And I appreciate the soulful connection between the musicians.

Bravo sublime 👍

Music, the universal language

This is really delicate and sophisticated. I love the pairing of these instruments, and the complex interaction of various cultures.

Cultural fusion, musical prowess, inspirational and uplifting, listen and mediate and you will feel a glimpse of heaven, love it

Magnifique dialogue musical, rencontre poètique ,qui prouve que la beauté de la musique est universelle, fraternité ,écoute, ,respect,Amour...On ressens tout cela dans ce duo...Merci Messieurs... (Didier D'agostino batteur-compositeur,à joué avec Rhoda Scott,Etienne Mbappé,Guy n'Sangué,Thierry Mineau,etc.etc...)

Très belle association des deux instruments de musique , mais la Cora malienne restera inégalable , un instrument magique dont le son va droit au coeur et le débarrassé de tout stress .... c'est très beau et splendide .

on voyage en 1ère classe, sans acheter de billet, un instant privilégié !

Graças por esta serenidade e beleza!

Il sont magnifiques ... leur mélodies sont incroyablement magnifiques.. .. il merites des milliards d'euros

this is really lovely. the world would be so empty without music and the other arts.

I grew up rocking and rolling. Every rock and roller on earth needs to listen to this! I never knew something like this existed. There is something new and exceedingly beautiful under God's bright sun. This music flows, spirits move in wonder. It ain't rock and roll but I LIKE IT!

Beautiful cultural mélange and even the jackdaws participated........joyously. Thank you from the heart.

je pleure , c'est tellement beau la fusion du noir du blanc , peu importe de l'instant , je vis la musique et grâce a cela ma vie est un doux rêves ..juste lui dire merci et pour ceux qui apprennent alors soyez patients vraiment ca paye et etre paye en soleil tout en mangeant des sardines alors cela me dit que vraiment loin des aigris le sourire et la vie

tout simplement magnifique!!! J'adore!!!

Ah, my sore heart breaks again and mends again - and again - this time in Seattle, Washington, one of the hearts of the covid19 pandemic that swirls around our locked-down lives. Thank you gentle-men.

I adore the music fusions like this one... It is soul soothing and giving me a hope the humanity still exists. Well done, guys!

When I am "losing my mind and heart in this nutty world" I humbly come to musicians like these. Namaste

So beautiful.

Desde Bogotá Colombia, es música que une continentes, razas, culturas y almas

all souls wander in eternity searching for the melody they once heard in there more innocent hearts......sublime

De toute beauté !

💕 Beautiful! Beautiful!! Beautiful!!! All I hear and SEE is BEAUTY and Inspiration ! 💕🦋🌸🙏🙏🙏

j'aime beaucoup la musique que joue ces deux hommes si différents en apparence et qui sont en réelle complicité artistique... leur musique touche le coeur et rejoint l'intime

La esencia humana. Estos dos músicos me reconcilian con el género devastador. Gracias mil!

Une merveille ! *_*

Ils m'accompagnent lors de mes révisions. Je suis heureuse de les avoir, cette musique avec le bruit des oiseaux et enfants c'est un délice.

The sublime interplay here makes me realize how inadequate words are.

What a wonderful music!! So good! Thanks

this is a great recording, all the frequencies just spank off those stone walls..... the acoustics are great, the musicians are great, that cello is taken to another level....this guy must be the best cello player in the world...

They re both so beautiful! Son tan hermosos, in and out :) 😍😍

Lise, your pleasure in playing shines through brightly. I admire your interest and resolve to pick up the violen again and play with such gusto. Wayne

This is incredible, I am so happy that I found this music.

Oh que c'est beau Dieu Tout-Puissant, Eternel Créateur de tout ce qui se meut et qui respire sur terre soit loué pour le don de la musique que Tu nous as fait merci car on se fait du bien avec ces sons magnifiques !!

Beautiful. 🎶

Just gorgeous.. Trad Kora with moments of Classical Indian Cello.. wot a treat..

European instrument meets African instrument. What an absolutely beautiful metaphor for life!

"El idioma Universal" y la hermandad de culturas. Está fusión es excelsa....muy hermosa.

this is great. the first track almost made me cry. the fact they were so in tune with each other. different cultures and backgrounds but same music language. I just wish the music was as loud as the applauses.

Wonderfull. Beautiful example of cultural complementarity. Two great players in the dialogue of cultures. RESPECT MAESTROS

I like the little crows on the backround it adds something to it

En medio de la pandemia y inseguridad del mundo todavia se puede unir uno en la bella musica y diferente generos de ritmos para darnos paz al alma. Musica es nuestra lengua universal! ❤️

una belleza total, que maravilla este encuentro de dos grandes musicos!!!!!!!! gracias!!!

This is beautiful =)

This combination is like a mystic river. I let it sway me to places I have never seen before. How amazing is it to think that these sounds are taking form out of nowhere. They were never there. Now they are.

Ça soigne les coeurs blessé

Most of the music (if not all of it) featured in this concert was recorded on the album "Chamber Music" circa 2011.

Очень здорово! Ребята,вы прекрасны!🙏😎

Just great! 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍Thank you so much 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Had I not seen and known what i just learned by watching this recording , i would have guessed that this is music from Ancient Greece with a hint of oriental scales. Now thanks to KZfaq i know the name of the African Harp ; the Kora :-)
