The Symmetric Orchestra led by Toumani Diabaté is composed of musicians (mostly griots) from across the old Mande Empire of west Africa, who play a mix of traditional instruments including the kora, djembe, balafon and bolombatto, as well as modern ones like the guitar and electronic keyboard.

Saw him live at the barbican in london a few years ago. Remains to this day one of my all time favourite gigs. He took us on a journey that night.

entheal, sui generis! Proud to witnessed them at Marciac 2011 - I cried when I felt Toumani Diabate's great spirit - as he didnt played so much with AfroCubism Group - just to have him sitting and smiling the whole time - he seems to be enlightened! Listen to this Ballaphon player carefully - he ist such a highly gifted musician like all the others.

Salam, qu'est que tu peux rajouter à ceci? Une orchestration symétriquement ingénieuse. Toumani l'Afrique et le monde est fier de ce projet sans égal. Papis

saw the symmetric orchestra at a very short-lived world music festival in glasgow in 2006 and it was the best gig ive ever seen. they had about 37 lead vocalists, the balafon player was so high-energy he had to have been on something, and toumani was a bandleader extraordinaire, so charming and charismatic. even though he said he wanted to collaborate with scottish traditional musicians
