African music (Full Documentary) 

This is not just a story about a single musician, it is a glimpse into the wider musical Griot culture of West Africa, specifically Mali, It is wonderful. Thank you for posting it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, a wonderful insight into the musical heritage of Mali. Can't understand the criticism in the comments here, or why you would expect a one hour documentary to cover the entirety of African music as some others seem to have expected. Great work! thanks :)

Living in a dream

Metal Bacon's comments are insulting and should be condemned for the bigoted, closed system ignorance that plagues these usually grateful and thoughtful platforms. As a musician schooled in musics of nearly every culture I have found so far, the idea that there is/was some pristine cultural and personal expression of art and beauty not influenced by the interpenetrating ecology of ideas and technologies is a shackle that prevents any kind of intellectual evolution. I play guitar, mostly, and sing, sort of, from the heart. When I am truly emoting music I can't help but cry. I have had many guitars and extensions of that instrument. I once had over 13 original albums of my music, on most of which I played all the instruments, engineered, recorded, produced and distributed locally and over the internet. In 2019, I lost all of that when I lost my home as the result of an injury from being hit by a car. After eviction, I was thrown in jail. Upon release I stayed in homeless shelters 2 counties away from my former home where I had been a high school English teacher. One day, after church, I wandered into a familiar music store to try to play a guitar. I picked one up: same make and model as my first acoustic Takamine purchased in 1981, on which I had learned to play, composed and recorded most of my songs, and performed for audiences. I noticed a few details about the guitar, familiar? I began to play. It felt like home. I noticed more details... the repair I had done after my guitar was damaged during a plane trip... "Hey, Chris, dude, this is my guitar!" Several months later, she, Yoko, became mine again. Music and magic are intertwined. Too bad Metal Bacon piggishly bailed on this excellent film before we met more village musicians, and the genius of Kora player, Touami Diabaté and singer Umu Simayogo. Thank you all for your curiosity and compassion. Salam. Bien venu mes amis....

Tres beau et interessant .

Pls, what's the title of that song by Lobi Traore in this documentary ?

Should change the title of the documentary to "Random African family that likes their own music: Full Documentary" i learned absolutely nothing about African music the whole thing was this guys dream to play his music in front of Europeans. The other guy just talking about his influences for songs he wrote. The rest is a bunch of filler of them playing their music or talking about their misfortunes of being a woman in their culture. I was really hoping to get some background about the tribal music of Africa, maybe some origin stories here, a fact or two about the evolution of their music there, but nope, no such information to be found.

10:56 thank me later

10:56 who is that
