He's telling the history of Kora. Where it cames from. Origins from Guinée Bissau, Gambia, etc...right before colonisation. The history of mandigue in general.

[@eddyc4603]

@@TheMoulsauce1 thanks. Do you also know... The tuning is slightly different here from most modern recordings in the conventional scale - or it just sounds different. I was wondering if in modern times koras were tuned to reflect "standard" occidental piano (or guitar, etc) tuning while this wasn't the case before? Of course it could also be due to VHS sound being inaccurate, hence my question.

77 generations of beauty in this family. Toumani's son is also named Sidiki Diabate and the only disappointment with him is that he is a genius but wasting precious time doing hip hop, which by the way, he is very good at but I would rather he plays kora full time

La kora c'est le kaabu et rien d'autre. La preuve : vous autres tilibonka ne savez pas la signification de kora.

[@niamakannidjinemakan6802]

😂😂😂 Il faut bien écouter pour comprendre. Koring bato c'est également le dialecte malinké de konkodougou Kénieba. Et il faut reconnaître également que présentement la symphonie du Kora du Mali est plus répandu. C'est plus doux. La mélodie du Kora de Kaabou est très chaud, prédestinait aux batailles alors celle du Mali soigne l'âme. Sidiki koroba a du apprendre beaucoup de Sékou Batrou Kouyaté de Kita, le maître de Mory Kanté de la Guinée Conakry et tant d'autres.

[@Bambabah]

He speaks bambara with mandinka "accent", funny.

[@Bambabah]

What I meant with "mandinka" is the language in Gambia/casamance/Guinea-Bissau; that language is definitely not the same as maninka/bambara/dioula of eastern Senegal, mali, Guinea...there's very little or no mutual intelligibility. Just because "mandinka" and "maninka" are confusing words and some westerners like to bunch all of them as 1 language doesn't actually make them so. On the other hand, probably the dialect continuum of Guinea/Mali etc can be considered a language, they have actual mutual intelligibility to a large degree as I understand it.

[@oumouclby7989]

yepp Sidiki Diabaté was originally from Gambia :) Sidiki Diabate (born 1922 in Basang in Gambia)

[@Bambabah]

+OceanBreeze You seem to be reasoning from an ideological standpoint rather than facts. And the fact is, Mandinka which has now several different meanings [because of the Europeans], such as the name of the ethnicity as a whole or the one particular language spoken in Gambia/Casamance/Guinea-Bissau. I mean mandinka as the language and not the ethnicity. The language is many centuries old, mande people were emigrating from Manden (the "original" location around the upper Niger river) to different locations of the empire. Westward emigration is very, very old, I'm sure you've heard of Tiramagan, which the gentleman in this video is talking about. This is more than 700 years ago. There were no colonialism or any influence at all from Europe at this time, the language developed naturally, as one can imagine the area we're talking about is huge and the fact is there were non-Mande people already there. So it had all the ingredients to diverge from the central Mandekan (Maninka) and so it did in the aforementioned regions, even forming their own realm independent from Mali as soon as it collapsed (probably already practically existing before that). So this divergence of culture and language is far more deeply rooted than you realize. I suggest you read books on the matter if you don't believe me as your words here seem to be rather opinionated; you said yourself you didn't even know there were Manden in Gambia...so you aren't informed what obvious differences there are in language in between different macro language of the rest of Manden and for instance Gambia, which differs dialectically already within it's borders and not less so than compared to for instance Guinea-Bissau. I never said we are different ethnically which is what you seems to work about. There are no Wolofs in Guinea-Bissau or Casamance btw. And of course travelers can understand both languages, same as in any two different languages, you can learn both. It's eased to a great degree because of similar vocabulary and grammar. But they obviously aren't similar enough to be classifed as a single language. And this again has nothing to with Europeans.

[@Bambabah]

+OceanBreeze Surnames doesn't necessarily has to do with anything at all, but often in Africa it suggests same or similar ethnicity rather than language. And again I never said Mandinka aren't of Manding ethnicity so I don't even know what you're talking about. They aren't different dialects. They are different languages. www.ethnologue.com/language/mnk Soninke are Mande speaking- not Mandekan (Dioula, Bambara, Maninka, Khassonke, Mandinka). Saying they too are of Manding ethnicity is like saying the Susu of Guinea and Mende of Sierra Leone are also of Manding ethnicity, in other words Germans, English, Dutch, Scandinavians and more are all of the same ethnicity, on the basis of them being Germanic language speakers. Similarly, All romance language speakers like French, Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians are all of the same ethnicity because of their shared language family. And that's wildly missing the point of the (necessary) division of a language, a language group and language families. Also doesn't make any sense in popular speech. I know there are some Mande people in Mauretania yes, but they aren't Manding in neither ethnicity nor language. I'm not sure being part of an empire has anything to with it. It's not quite true, there are wolof villages in the north border but most of the Wolof Census has basis on the Serer people in and around the capital, those aren't actually Wolof but they very similar to wolof and being lumped together (partially on their own initiative). I never said Wolof are only found in Senegal either. Could you be more precise what I'm being ignorant on? Because what I'm saying - every study says the same - Mandinka of Gambia/Casamance/Guinea-Bissau is not the same language as the macro languages in Mali/Guinea. And arbitrary Mande people are definitely not part of the particular Manding ethnicity.

[@Bambabah]

+OceanBreeze If you could cite a single source of scientific work from a linguist or ethnologue the discussion would be much simpler. Instead your aunt is the basis of your arguments which makes me think it's you that is ignorant and not me. Your aunt does not reinforce your arguments more than I contradict it: I speak Mandinka fluently, it's my mother tongue and I barely understand any sentence by Manding Guineans or Malians. Certainly I understand more if they talk slower and with less accent but as far as everyday speech goes, it's easy to understand why these two languages aren't mutually intelligible. Speaking the same language or speaking similar "enough" languages are one piece of many for two peoples to be considered to be ethnically same. None of the Susu or Mende are other Mande people are considered to be of the same ethnicity of the Mandings of Kankan, Bamako etc because of the profound language differences AND many cultural differences as well. This is according to themselves as well as ethnologues and it's obvious why. Mandinka on the other hand already suggests cultural similarity with other mandings just in it's own ethnic definition. We call ourselves Mandingo. We call other Mandings in Mali/Guinea/Senegal for Mandingo (tilibo). But absolutely do not call the Soninke or other non-Manding people Mandingo. That's our own distinction and from what I know it's the same as in Guinea, they call us "Mandingo" or something equivalent. Given the similarity of the different languages, curiously similar culture practices (I was watching a Guinea theatre one day and noticed the minute long greetings and walking out with your guest after a visit and many other things we do exactly the same in Gambia) and above all same ethnic distinctions, one can consider them to share ethnicity. It's certainly no science where the "ethnic" border lies hence the importance of the involved people's own views of themselves and others. So I don't know where I'm "contradicitng" myself. The manding peoples are arguably of the same ethnicity, because if you ask them then that is what they will say; the same cannot be said of a Manding and a Soninke; or certainly not in Gambia (we make fun of their language in fact, fully knowing we share the same ancient heritage). Yes, you shouldn't reply when all of what you're saying comes from your hearth rather than from people that study these languages as their job, including mandings themselves - it's far from just "foreigners" that's studying African languages. Why would I learn N'ko when it's not my language? What use does it have? Certainly the Gambian, Casamance and Guinea-Bissau people/governments hasn't found a reason to actually use it. If you'd know more about N'ko and it's practices you'd know that already. It's only used in Guinea/Mali/Ivory-Coast etc. In other words, countries within the greater Manding dialect continuum. Not used by countries of former Gabu or even other Mande people like Susu, Soninke or Mende. So guess who is contradicting himself.... PS: N'Ko has the same meaning only within the *Manding* languages and generally speaking, not other Mande languages.
