Sona Jobarteh - Kaira - LIVE at Afrikafestival Hertme 2018

[@jan-magnussolheim3656]

Hi Sona Jobarteh, you have opened my feelings for Africa through your music, I am emotionally touched by your voice and your performance, Gambia should be proud of you, and so am I from Norway, you make Africa much closer to Norway with your fantastic rhythmic music and voice, cheer on you 👍

Super music

[@briane173]

I'm looking up and down the comments here and I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only white American who loves West African music and the virtuosity of West African musicians on the kora and calabash. My musical tastes are fairly eclectic anyway, having grown up with 60s pop, progressive rock, R&B, new wave, etc. But this stuff warms my soul. Sona Jobarteh is indeed a master on the kora, and to top if off she is SMOKIN' hot! The complete package of talent, intelligence, looks, and serenity of being. When my soul needs a boost I put on some Malian kora & calabash and just close my eyes and absorb it like a sponge.

[@chrisgordon5719]

If you want to expand your Kora and Harp horizon, look at Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita Try the video "Two Harps Beat As One".

You're not the only white American that loves African "Afro-Pop" music. They used to play a lot of "Afro-Pop" music on PRI/Public radio International if Donald Trump and his GOP horde haven't forced them off the air. I used to listen to it on weekends on on the Internet.

She is just a gifted musician and a great singer. And she has great musicians in her band! To us Germans African music might sometimes feel strange but it's so full of passion and love. Listening to that I wished I could be in Africa - seeing funny, happy faces making wonderful music. Back then we came as conquerors and robbers. We missed seeing what Africa really is. I just hope that all those wounds might heal sometime in the future. We are all the same on that lonely planet. - Greetings from Germany.

Hey Sona Jobarteh and team....Love from Assam, India. The music is so from the earth. I am glad i came across it today.....Kora is unique, the way it is held, strings facing in and the spectacular use of thumb unlike any other musical instrument...Africa is rich in culture!

Watch some of the videos by Catrin Finch, a Harp Player from Wales and the very well known Kora player she has collaborated with. I can't remember his name or spelling. Just search Catrin Finch Harp and/or Kora. One piece called "Two Harps beat as one" is especially good. "AFRO POP is some of the best music around. It beats the crap out of Hip Hop.

ONE LOVE...truly stunning performance. Seeing artists like this in perfect sync, feeding off each others love of music, life and humanity. Had the privilege of spending three months in Gambia in 1994 as student on placement in Brikama, Dobong and other wonderful places. What a time that was...helped me realise deeply held beliefs that had little currency in the west but make perfect sense in a rural economy. Gambia made me so welcome, such natural people. Picked up a significant drumming habit there and ended up making the same journey that those primal rhythms had made all the way to Cuba. This is amazing. Bless all of you for this music.
