Toumane Diabate — Kora
Toumani Diabate, like Foday Musa Suso, is regarded as one of the
greatest living virtuosos on the kora, the 21-string West African
harp-lute. Coming from a prominent musical family in the country of
Mali, Diabate showcases his reputation as an inventive and lyrical
performer on Kaira, his first solo album. The five pieces represent
some of the classic kora works, and, at five to ten minutes in
length, they allow Diabate plenty of time to stretch out and reveal
his dazzling virtuosity. The tunes are all built around a solid
bassline and a basic melodic theme around which Diabate improvises,
producing a richly ornamented sound that is lively, fluid and
engaging
