  • this is not kaira, this is sambouyaya!!!

  • 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.

  • magnifique....

  • @Ayatollah89

    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.

  • @brandonterzic Thank you

    That was good i have new Ancient strings but i didnt know about Ancient strings

    and Unis Cissoko to good

  • 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.

  • can someone if the may,please tell me the names of any other kora players worth listening to aside from Toumani ,Mamadou and Ballake.

    that would be stupendous,marvelous thank you.

  • This performance grooves nicely!

    Rock on!
