Regina Carter's violin has expressed moods inspired by European classical, bebop, Afro-Cuban and Southern blues music. On her new album 'Reverse Thread,' and in this recent performance at the NPR Music offices, Carter plays traditional African melodies, re-imagined through her own jazz sensibilities.

  • so beautiful piece of music !!!

    thank you :-)

  • I asked too soon, just a little bit more research & I found the answer. The man playing the Kora is Yacouba Sissoko and the title of the 1st song in this video N'Teri which is found on the BEAUTIFUL sounding album called 'Reverse Thread' which also features more of the Kora

  • at 6:37 Regina states the name of the Kora player as... Yakob backa soku (?) if anyone knows the correct spelling of his name could you please share

    

  • is it me or does the second tune sound like gypsy lady gaga ........... hahaha

  • Just saw her at the University of Hartford, she was AMAZING :)

  • I am Blessed to be able to hear such wonderful music that touches my soul with the intent to do nothing but Love<3 Thank you Regina Carter for the wonderful composition and talented musicians playing along with you.

  • anyone know the name of this particular song ? this is beautiful

  • The black dude playing the weird, but very melodic, kora as Sincerely calls it, has a rytheme in his heart 99.9% of us will never know. I'd pay for a c.d. of just him doing his own originals on that instrument!

  • This is absolutely amazing. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I'm sure I have ever heard.

  • ¡Qué belleza!
