Description
Toumani Diabaté is the living voice of one of the most beautiful sounds in the world: the African kora, a 21-string West African harp that has been played by griots in the Diabaté line for 71 generations. Born in Mali, he has collaborated with artists as diverse as Björk, Taj Mahal, Roswell Rudd and Randy Weston. His latest album, Mandé Variations, is a solo tour de force featuring his inventions inspired by traditional melodies and storytelling traditions of the Mandé people. He appears with a spellbinding group of African virtuosos.More Info
