One of Africa’s greatest musicians, Toumani Diabaté is the Malian master of the kora, the 21-string West African harp whose shimmering tones have been plucked by generations of griots, or cultural storytellers. The innovative Diabaté simultaneously plays bass, rhythm, and melody, making mesmerizing Malian music flavored with American soul. His collaborators have included Taj Mahal, Björk, and the late Ali Farka Touré, with whom he won the 2005 Grammy Award for In the Heart of the Moon. Sidiki Diabaté joins his father Toumani for this special performance. Their recent recording of duets, Toumani & Sidiki, was released in 2014 by World Circuit.
