After having just explained the method for playing the 22-string kora (left thumb for bass, right thumb for melody, index fingers for improvisation), Toumani played "Jarabi," a song from the album, "Kaira."
I live in the Chicagoland area and can't believe I missed this! Awesome instrument, so different and so much better than the usual trash we hear everyday.
Thank you. One thing though, I thought the Kora had 21 strings. 11 for the left hand and 10 for the right. Am I wrong?
