Djele Lankandia Cissoko passed away on January 11, 2012. The man was just as his music - pure goodness. He will remembered by the many who's lives he touched.

I-laful! To think my ancestors were playing this beautiful music, hundreds of years ago, and I am just discovering it! I am so proud that despite being torn from my roots through slavery, I have come full circle to fulljoy!!

Interesting, i have to say I dont really associate african culture with anything particularly harmonious or peaceful sounding but this pretty easy going.

Love the kora! I used one in an African orchestral piece I composed and produced. It's up on my channel and called "Journey through Africa".

why cant ppl just listen to the music?! all this nationalism and ethnicity promoting and bashing is ruining the mood of the music. Aint it just so political?! society brainwashes kids too efficiently, no wonder we need to cool ourselves down with music so often ¬.¬

@Facemelter2000

Wrong in each and every way. If Africans were torn from their culture 300 years ago, at which point were they rejoined with it? Any answer for that? Secondly, just because you say black youth "have been trained to bitch and moan by a fucked up ignorant culture that can't see past 300 year old chains", doesn't mean it's true. Thats your very own "fucked up ignorant culture" talking out of it's ass. Black people don't need to go back 300 years to see inequality today.

[Facemelter2000]

@BlacknesUnforgivable positively, our own culture. We have different styles of music, humor, dialect, art, ethical standards, food, problems; virtually everything that defines a culture. It's all DIFFERENT in america. if that's not a culture, than i don't know what is.

[Facemelter2000]

@BlacknesUnforgivable typical ignorant response from someone who's never left their cave. of course our culture is made up of immigrants.... if you really want to trace back time, then almost ALL cultures developed due to immigration (that's obvious), but you wouldn't factor that in would you. Have you ever even been to another country? England? Poland? France? Italy? Spain? Switzerland? Germany? Austria maybe? no i didn't think so, but if you had, you could see that we are most definitely,
