Do you know of a balafon player better than balkhaly camara, el hadj djeli sory kouyate, or abou sylla (currently in USA?) Please tell me who. I would love to hear their music.

[LAKORN]

I do know Abou Sylla and he has a new CD coming out soon. I will post something when I get more info.

THANKS

[LAKORN]

no. unless it is something distasteful or hateful or full of foul language which yours was not.

" In Guinea, the artists are the best in the world at this particular art form... djembe, balafon music and dancing"

This is almost believable but aren't you forgetting to mention the rest of the Mande/Mali Empire? What do they have to say about that? I'm interested by your video. Thanks for posting

[LAKORN]

The comment was the opinion of the person speaking. It is difficult sometimes to represent all who deserve credit.

Thanks for your comment though and I appreciate your interest!

[LAKORN]

Thank you for noticing!

[milfern3]

So you delete criticism to your unfounded commentary?

Great video true human spirit

I just love this place from the very bottom of my heart and it touches me to hear and see all this. My dream is for Guinea to be a better place so that we can show to the world the beauty of it's soul.

Nice to show this aspect of our heritage. Guinea truly is beautiful!
