Toumani Diabaté - Cantelowes live at El Real Alcazar

[@Abbas-u9i]

The world just lost a great master of kora player. He will now play in heaven.

[@kagisomamabolo1573]

The craft will never be Lost, Kora music has been passed on from Generation to Generation in his family from father to son as Toumani was the 71st Generation and now he left the gloves to his son Sidiki Diabate as he is the 72nd Generation. We are grateful for Toumani’s existence here in Africa. I am a griot, Psychologist and philosopher from South Africa passed on as well from father to Son and We gathered in numbers and we connected to Toumani Diabetes as we connected with him Divinely before his passing was confirmed later, This is not Music is a Healing frequency(strings and harps).

[@UdemeIdem]

I adore the Diabate family and their music. RIP Toumani (July 19, 2024).

[@jonyboulder2]

As a guitarist, this is really amazing to find this. For the technical side of things, id say it takes a massive amount of skill to be improvising at the speedhes at and maintain a rythm component. As for the more fundamental side, i would say that i hope this style becomes more popular. Truly deserves to be known. Perhaps Tomani will be the voice.

There are few musical pleasures deeper than listening to Toumani play, particularly on The Mande Variations. Genius.

[@Hanhan099]

[@pepepene9060]

Bear in mind that Tumani memorises all of these songs, since kora music has only been recently written in scores by the younger generation. Such a blessed mind!

[@Neanderthalcouzin]

I've been a fan of Toumani and the griots of Mali for years. It taught my the beauty of an ancient tradition that even as a European, I feel like I'm part of it too. The musical style itself blurs the lines between rhythm and melody, you just have to let it wash over you. Such intelligence and tomes of unspoken wisdom. It's like a time machine, but also timeless. It sometimes makes me think of Sundiata, the original lion king, the master hunter. Peace and love to all Africans.

[@nicolacrow6815]

I am so sad, because Toumani passed away 😭💗

[@bodhishin]

Thanks tenico 101. The music here makes it a good day to be part of the human race!

[@japansekip]

dit is na Cuba het mooiste wat ik gehoord heb. Voor mij een nieuwe dimensie voor muziek luisteren.

[@janetathensbay]

Where Man Goes, there must be music! Fabulous shades of water trickling as Egyptian sails float down the Nile. Birds flushing from the thick branches of tropical foliage. Snakes swiftly swirling through the brown water.

[@paulscott8748]

I hope one day to see this guy live.

[@Kenan-Z]

Incredible sounds...it's as if this is not a single instrument but a whole jazz band playing. Mesmerizing music to ears.

[@dudewhatthehellman]

his whole album is magical... the kora is the perfect instrument, it has bass and whatever is above bass.. simply amazing... more ppl need to start playing this instrument iMO, Toumani, youre awesome...

[@spacemissing]

Wonderful music. I could take an infinite supply of this.

[@kerkyradh]

Stunningly beautiful. Such skill. I could listen to Toumani Diabate forever.....

[@JohnHarmer]

sounds amazing, I like how he is festooned with microphones :-)

[@steffanan]

it makes me wonder which one we are listening to

[@Odin029]

I think they are trying to record the instrument the way it sounds in person since the sound doesn't just come from one part.

[@ehshasa]

Rest in peace forever 💔

L'homme aux doigts d'or c'est bien lui!!!

[@viciouscircle7802]

On the plus side my realising I've got in too deep wanting to learn the kora atleast makes me look at my guitar in a different way, seems simpler and less daunting and I've been playing about 20 years lol. Says alot. This instrument is immense.

[@carolined3058]

[@PatchBishop]

blissful nourishment for the soul. i couldn't help but smoke to this.

[@robkennedy79]

Pure music ! Thanks for sharing !

[@SynMusique]

@tenico101 You're right.....everyone should think like you to make a better world......peace...

[@emotionalinvalid]

beautiful african harp music. is he playing classical guitar or harp style? that is to say playing both the melody and the accompaniment on one instrument simultaneously? and its a lot harder than just finger picking chords. it seems he is making one instrument sound like two, what a master musician!

[@Wavemaninawe]

Ive heard him do 3 parts simultaneously. Im still to this day trying to get a full grasp of the mechanics of playing the kora. Admitted... Mr. Diabaté is fucking superhuman in the way he handles it, but kora still seems to be a rather complex instrument in its own right. Complex and stunningly beautiful.

[@joangonzalvez9865]

Yes he is usually doing the bass, the accompaniment, and some melody/impro at the same time

[@Wavemaninawe]

Joan Gonzalvez The man must be some kind of cyborg. Its simply not human.

Wonderful music, great artist Toumani!!! Many thanks

[@Xerxes4242]

I'm seeing them in Edmonton this August! Quite excited:)

[@mashila1]

El sonido es precioso.

[@Naimasturn]

So beautiful! I play 6 & 12 string guitar, but I don't know if I could learn to play the Kora.

[@carollo5129]
