two years ago i saw Toumani Diabate (and the symettric orchestra) and i fell in love with the kora. I knew it would only be soon till Griots began gaining popularity in the west.
I love this combination! The music was great and it was definitely something different. The kora is such an interesting instrument. The cellist is also a great player. This is really appreciated being a cellist.
Stunning!

Their rythym is ridiculous. Superb musicians to stay in time with eachother through such complex movements.

Oh man...at 5:34 the cello sounds like some of the native Tuvan instruments from some Huun Huur Tu recordings. Loving these complicated rhythms!

I don't know much about a Kora, but the cello sounds perfect! Great sounding recording for two dudes just sittin' at a desk.

Something about the movement of each of these pieces just draws me in deeper. I loved it!

I get sick of changing the strings on my guitar. Imagine changing the strings on that Malian Kora!
