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.

Word. Life is a symphony... You are a song... Everything is a unique song. Music = Vibration = Life, Creation.
But don't think - submerge yourself in music, let it flow through you, talk to you, reveal mysteries beyond what can be conveyed by words...
Or simply enjoy!! :)
I have the greatest respect for Kora and the associated deep culture & tradition... Though I am very new to it.
But you can hear... There is depth, wisdom of centuries....
Or am I just imagining everything?
Any recommendations? I basically only know Sona Jobarthé so far, no other artists...

I am so in love with this music and Africa. I am a girl from Serbia, but somehow I feel this in my heart and soul.

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.

It's even more delicious if you imagine that you are a woman.
