The marvellous sound of the Kora by a great master.

Saw them on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury and it was honestly some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. I would heartily recommend the album.

Le fils même est étonné et envahit par le rythme de son père ! 223 💚💛❤ love

Some bang them heads with riffs and solos by a metalhead virtuoso icon of fame with a life in excesses moved by trendy winds to show themselves further... Others see a father and his son playing the same they learn by a long line of generation passed away with no sickness ego, pure art. Picasso knew it well before steal ideas and spirit

This is dope pure African quality music still listening to this tune in 2020

bonne pour la méditation good for meditation

Quel régal ! Merci de nous l'offrir si agréablement!

So dreamy. I love how they smile while they play. Sidiki is very handsome.

Nice one father and son peace

This is a Beautiful talent,,

So smoothing melody 🎶🎸💖💜

Hello to everybody, i believe the kora is from 15th century. Nobody knows the exact date but its probabily from the last half of the 15th century. The first wave of the kaabu empire(where in fact appears the instrument, not in songhai empire) was in the first half of 15th century so there is a lot of discussion, whether it belongs to the first half or the last half of that century. before the kora there were various instruments of the same family, among them the bolonbata that had 11 to 13 strings and that survived until the 18-19 century. Legend tells us that the kora was created or made known by djely madi wulen in Kaabu, currently in Guinea-Bissau. Sidiki Diabate, The Great, father of the kora angel, Toumani Diabate, left us his testimony, saying the same as say all players and Mandingo historians in gambia, the mali, the Guinea: The Kora is from Kaabu(Gabú or Kaaba). The first melody that is learned is the Kelefa ba, which speaks of the hero of Sane line known for Kelefa ba Sané(translated: the great lord of war Sané) who lived in the 15th century, in the begining of the kaabu empire. All other songs before Kelefa ba belong to repertoires of other instruments such as the balafon, ngoni, flute and other. The Portuguese invaders registered a terrible battle in the second half of the century 15 in which the Fula attacker army was totally destroyed by the Mandigas. The Portuguese noted that to know how rich was a Mandingo, have to count how many Fulani heads he had and not how many cattle he had. This reinforces the idea of the golden age of Kaabu have been in the 15 century and the kora creation legend belongs to this period. Best of all for everybody.

This music instrument is probably as old as the continent itself. It may have gone through changes but its still the same thing.

Ethereally magical melody Magnificently soothing 😌😴✨☺💕😍

Bravo, je vous suis avec passion, et toujours le même bonheur. Et quel plaisir de vous voir jouer ensemble, dans une si intense harmonie.* Merci.

Fierté Malienne

Je dedie le son des 2 coras là a l'artiste (dj Arafat ) 😭😭😭😭😭😭paix a ton àme mon artiste

Apart from Mike Oldfield, the best thing that's ever appeared at Glastombury

i love this africain from malie toumani the King of kora and son sidiki qui fait le buzz .

Thank you for the recording. I was so disappointed when the BBC decided not to show them performing on the Pyramid stage. There is nothing on the BBC site, TV red button etc which is so sad as he is so brilliant . Instead the BEEB selected lots of dross and half naked women. Everyone should have kora in their life. CDs are really brilliant. ,

J'adore mandingue music !!

Très classe et apaisante la kora ❤❤❤

bravo sidiki j'aime bien c comme ça cotinu
