Sona Jobarteh - Jarabi
Loading...
Uploaded by bbcafrica on Feb 28, 2011
Sona Jobarteh hails from a long West African tradition of Griots and kora players; her grandfather was the master Griot Amadu Bansang Jobarteh.
Creating her own history, she has broken from the male-dominated kora tradition to become the family's first female virtuoso of the instrument.
Here Sona Jobarteh performs the traditional Malian song, Jarabi, accompanied by Femi Temowo on guitar and percussionist Robert Fordjour.
