So beautiful. I was literally moved to tears by it's exquisite delicateness and beauty. Maybe this is what heaven is like? With all of my brothers and sisters from around the world, together, harmonious and love flourishing. Ah, my heart was so immensely touched! I would love to go his concert!!!
How beautiful can one most primitive instrument be when strummed with the heart by the spirit of one fine instrumentalist and gentleman called; Toumani Diabate. Thank you for "Elyne Road" and your marvelous most delicate touch. You could make a stone sing in a waterfall or a stream warble over rock falls simply by thinking it into being. Blessings my friend. Your Maricet
Toumani Diabate is one of my favorite artists. I saw him live at The Bowery Ballroom about two years ago. He was great. I brought my own kora back from Africa........Don't know how to play it though ; ).
When come to Bamako I will look for this this guy to kiss his fingures, what a talented humabeing. Music in Mali is the mother of all music on this earth.
This made me cry, especially when I think abou the way in which we have destroyed the world, and the plants, the animals,and created such divisions amongst ourselves. This music really transcends the limitations we've placed on ourselves.
he's a master worthy of the greats in jazz and classical music, liquid sunshine down your back. wonderful. saw him this weekend, and his son is turning into a virtuoso of similar quality!
Beautiful!

I strongly advise all of you to listen to two beautiful recordings involving Kora & Guitar :
- "In the Heart of the moon" Ali Farka Touré / Toumani Diabaté
- "Ocean Blues" Bob Brozman / Djeli Moussa Diawara
These are two masterpieces. Enjoy !

Such tender music. I saw him play a couple of years ago and was struck by his dignity and lack of ostentation.

True! With TP Africa we have organized the concert of Toumani in Italy. Only kora! It has been wonderful.
But Toumani is a wonderful person.
As you say.
