Ballaké Sissoko - au Centquatre

[@Babatope-up4iu]

Looking at Sissoko's facial expressions as he plays, you cannot but know that he's playing with his whole being and he has transcends this physical world into the extra terrestrial. By listening to this music, it makes me proud to be an African from Nigeria. This music soothes me and body, spirit and soul

[@OlhodeSauron]

As a brazillian, was a great surprise to hear this beautiful interpretation of "Asa Branca" played pretty well. Even more cause is a demostration of respect for my culture, as Pernambucano, like Luiz Gonzaga was.

[@paulobianchi2240]

I just felt the same!!! What a beautiful feeling added to this classic! And to enrich us with the conections that Luiz Gonzaga and the northestern music make with the "oriental" music.

Hello. I'm from Várzea Grande, near Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil. It's amazing to listen "Asa Branca" from our griot Northeast brazilian musician and composer Luiz Gonzaga. Beautiful song performed by Ballake Sissoko, in my opinion, chef-d'oeuvre, with his kora. Music and soul through culture among people. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@vip00000]

Music is called the universal language. And Ballaké Sissoko speaks it so fluently. Wowww.

[@ActivionsonTheriver]

I used this music to regulate my cadence when I am on my long-distance half marathon training. Beautiful kora, I grew up with this musical instrument. A special lineage of the Mandinka people (jali) has an exclusive claim to instrument, and they have protected it very well way from its emergence, which has a special story to it of itself. The respect for Jali in Mandinka society is at a special elevated level. Our history is safely stored in their organic computer, the good and the bad each and every surname their ancestors and how they come to be, from times when humans start to live in settle societies. You are obligated to give a Jali anything he/she demands from you. Oooh, the beautiful female Jali, not adept with instrument, but that deficiency is compensated with melodious voice.

this music makes me feel like a Ghibli movie ... it looks like it's made for children, but it's actually very mature and old... and still in love with the world. Very soothing, very powerful. I love how sonorities seem to come from many places, yet Africa and Mali in particular are the center where all currents converge. Thanks for uploading

[@hollychiron]

"... and still in love with the world". Even on this heart break morning a wondrous, enchanting music has returned me to the world. This is the music that reminds me of a line in a great poem by the great Mary Oliver in 'Wild Geese', - "over and over announcing your place in the family of things". Thank you for your comment reminding me to start my daily journal with at least three things that caused me to fall in love again, with the world.
