Beautiful music from a beautiful and talented queen. I could listen to her speak all day. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ragchalan]

Awesome talent, maturity of social vision and fantastic artistry. And the sound of that instrument in general and especially in hands like hers, is deeply moving.

[@iandeterlingchannel]

I was at her concert in Minneapolis a couple weeks ago - it was amazing!!

[@user-jb7iv2oe5y]

Proud of you sister

[@Ungirenkugire]

The clothes ! , oh my God. Thanks for representing africa

[@senda9782]

What makes her special is that it is only her family plays this instrument for generations

[@user-vw6bk4pb4l]

Not only her family there several griot families. More like clans, because they go back 700+ years and are spread out all over West Africa. I think its Jobarteh(Diabate), Suso, Kouyate, Sissoko, and Camara.

These 2 TV employees look so uncomfortable interviewing a musician. Why?
