Wonderful African vibes....

The death of Guinean musician Mory Kante was announced today. He was a singer and Kora player. You don't really get a proper demonstration on Yeke Yeke (his biggest hit) of just how god-damn beautiful a sound the kora makes....

…. so here you can

This is a father & son from Mali with the kora playing skill being passed down through the family for over 60 generations

And I would never live it down on my next visit if I didn't post a clip from one of The Gambia finest players.... but then she is she is cousin to the Malian boys above

And there's no way you can escape the Djembe... the west african drum
