Thank you Victor for the inspiration. Watched play for the first time play that tune ‘leta u bwembya tuume ishilu’ when you had accompanied a Magician in Mazabuka a long time ago.

How incredible!!!! ❤❤❤

Merci Derek. vous lui avez rendu hommage de la plus belle des manières, et cela, de son vivant. Repose en paix Toumani Diabaté !

Love love love this!

Wonderful

This is the first time I have watched and download the legend songs. So beautiful! Hope to see him.

We discoverd Derek at lovely intimate Town Hall performance last Friday. His playing was nothing short of jaw dropping but more importantly so stunningly beautiful it was a moving experience. I would drop anything anywhere to go see this master of his instrument. On a lighter note my brother in law at the conclusion leant in to me and whispered " there's gonna be a few people who go home tonight and smash their guitars." Perfect finale.

Amazing bro thanks for this nice piece I learned ali farka 56 the same as he playing it exactly but the guitar not helping I really enjoying his song

Epic!

The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness. It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly

La musique est un bruit qui pense .

Brilliant

So so cool!

Amazing .. 👏👏

I was in the front row and I was unable to even blink in case I missed a micro-second of the performance. it was truly magical.

Beautiful tradition. Toumani interprete nice and yours keeps the regular reasons I love West African Empire beats.

so touching...beautiful... would love to learn from you

Beutyfull tab please

Truly amazing. Unfortunate for most guitar players, I think Derek Gripper is steeped in the Wet African Griot tradition as his obviously has amazing technical ability but his sense of rhythm and feel is not something one can practice but takes a lot of connection. It really gets me emotional. Just amazing. I hope he posts concerts so I can see him live.

Can we do collaboration Derek...iam from South Africa

Maestro! Would be amazing to purchase tabs from this beautiful piece. I was trying through this jazz academy web but there was no way. Some other options?
