Having already established themselves separately as players of international note, with Toumani considered by many to be the finest kora-player in the world, they recorded "New Ancient Strings" together in Bamako in 1997. The album is named after the first album of instrumental kora music, "Ancient Strings", recorded by their fathers 27 years earlier.

An absolute compositional masterpiece. This needs to be written into sheet music and transcribed for other instruments. This piece/song is too important to rest alone with the kora. The song shows off the instrument, but the song alone is more beautiful than the instrument could ever possibly make it sound. A siren's call through and through.
