Mamadou Diabate
Mamadou Diabaté was born in 1975 in Kita, a Malian city long known as a center for the arts and culture of the Manding people of West Africa. As the name Diabate indicates, Mamadou comes from a family of griots, or jelis as they are known among the Manding. Jelis are more than just traditional musicians. They use music and sometimes oratory to preserve and sustain people's consciousness of the past, a past that stretches back to the 13th century when the Manding king Sunjata Keita consolidated the vast Empire of Mali Read Full BioMamadou Diabaté was born in 1975 in Kita, a Malian city long known as a center for the arts and culture of the Manding people of West Africa.

They use music and sometimes oratory to preserve and sustain people's consciousness of the past, a past that stretches back to the 13th century when the Manding king Sunjata Keita consolidated the vast Empire of Mali, covering much of West Africa. The stories of these glory days and the times since remain important touchstones for people today, not only for the Manding, but for many citizens of Mali, Guinea, Gambia, and Senegal.

Imagine it’s the 14th century and you live in the city of Timbuktu. You just finished a long day of hard work and you walk into a tavern and hear this majestic music.

Quem pesou que seria um programa cheio de piadinhas e gracinhas com o príncipe se deu mal! Homem culto, cheio de conhecimentos e que não ficou devendo em nenhuma pergunta do Gentile! Aliás calou o Gentile e todo o auditório quando mostrou que o futuro não está na Europa mas sim no Brasil!

@MsAppassionata I am from Kabylia my heritage was carried by woman also.. Women in my family are leaders of men and warriors and scholars.. Feminism is about making the woman into a petty victim who is always oppressed by men.. It is totally Western and nothing to do with us at all. And it's also very cringe.

@Clips on Clips You obviously have a VERY distorted view of what feminism means. On the contrary, I happen to admire strong women, and making criticism about certain male behavior does not mean I am afraid of them. I think you need to grow up instead of believing whatever patriarchal propaganda that’s been fed to you.

if this be the 14th century then the music speaks volumes of a highly advanced culture long before Europe ever was.
