This is Sambouyaya, it is in the same family as Konkoba, though he is playing it in a style known in Bamako as Autorail, a modernized version of Konkoba. Really its a blend of three songs, but kaira is not one of them.
Also sounds like Kaira to me. He plays the rhythm a bit funky , but the melody in the bass is the very standard changes ( I - V - vi - V - II - V - vii - V). There are versions of konkoba that also sound like this version, (Toumani's for example), but to me the thing that really defines konkoba is a 9/8 rhythm. The rhythm/dance from Guinea/Mali is played in this fashion, and the older balafon versions I've heard are all in 9/8. I wonder how this fast sixteenth feel came to be.
find " Ancient strings" Toumani's father and Ballakayes"s uncle play Kora duets. There are so many great kora players. The best kora player I have ever heard was Unis Cissoko from Senegal.
Yeah! i'm just mad of it. i pray with it, eat with it, walk with, make luv with it.....It's like the air i breathe. It's the greatest musik. Ohohooo it's so pure my God! My soul is just fulfilled. Thank you Mamadou. Thank you God who create musik. Thanks Africa for the soul food. Africa is the paradise. Africa is nice
