• Toumani Diabaté

  To describe the live experience of Toumani Diabaté, there is some context that might be useful. He plays a kora, which is a 21 string harp, not dissimilar to the lute, that is widely played in West Africa. It is made from a calabash, which is an odd kind of gourd-like melon, that is dried and hollowed. It’s sound is much like a sitar, but the playing style is marked with flamenco flourishes and a blues undercurrent.

  Toumani Diabaté is one of the most locally-respected and internationally-recognised Malian kora players. He is well-known for adapting the style of playing that lends itself well, to jazz and blues pitches for western ears.

  The instrument, for him, means tradition – he descends from a family lineage of kora players, and he has worked with perhaps some of the more well-known African jazz musicians Ali Farka Touré and Ballaké Sissoko.

  With his backing band, he has performed as part of international line-ups at some of the biggest festivals including Womad and Glastonbury in the UK, Roskilde in Denmark and Sziget in Hungary.
