Listen for Life ( http://www.listenforlife.org ) presents: MALI'S MAMADOU DIABATE PLAYS THE KORA
The kora, a 21-string harp, is the leading instrument in ensembles of traditional instruments in Mali and several closely-related West African countries. In this video Mamadou Diabate, who performs kora music internationally, shows the instrument and plays a traditional melody called Tara. The melody has been played for many generations and is a "remembering" song about the kindness of family members past. http://www.mamadoukora.com/
