Mamadou Diabate from Mauii plays a kora at Toronto's 2009 Luminato Arts and Creativity Festival!
A kora is a 21 stringed bottle gourd (or calabash) played with the thumbs and index fingers.
I apologise for the fact that my batteries wore out just as he was about to finish the song!
I co-sign! Whoever it is squawking in the background is very disrespectrul; it detracts tremendously from Mamadou's performance, yet he delivers in spite of it all. I ni tche!

Yes. Im trying to listen to the kora here. But that woman is full of herself, musically insensitive, and shouldnt be allowed into a music festival.
