In addition to the employees at Colors, I would like to give a huge shout out to Paul Lorton, the sound engineer of Colors Studio. He is the person behind all the incredible, crisp audio we get on all these shows with no credit. Let's give him his flowers please
Funny thing is what we call Afrobeat right now has nothing to do with what it actually is. There is nothing similar between Fela Kuti/Salif Keita's music and say Wizkid's or even Burna Boy's music. It's more like Afropop.
Africans underrate their cultures so much. Why must we struggle to find things like this? There should be a ‘classical’ African music channel or something to give these lost arts exposure growth and more life.
It's not a struggle. If you know the names of the instruments you'll find various channels and videos with the music and also popular artists from the given regions and cultures.
I love this comment! 😍 My mom is from Mali, so I secretely feel a little honored too haha 😄😊 I always love to see people wear their traditional clothing, though I never labeled it like that, but I totally agree!
I love traditional/classical African music. It’s something that’s just so peaceful and deeply connected and comforting to my soul. I love being African (Mandinka) and proud that the Kora is getting the recognition it deserves
@@user-ze7sj4qy6qlisten to Mory Kanté or Djeli Moussa Diawara from Guinea Conakry, Toumani and Sidiki Diabate from Mali, Ablaye Sissoko from Senegal or Sokhna Jobarteh from Gambia!
J’ai eu la joie d’écouter des concerts de kora en Afrique, les sonorités sont incroyables, ensorcelantes...vous ne pouvez que vibrer avec cet instrument...
Quelle merveille que cet instrument et que ce virtuose....que Dieu te garde 🙏🙏...Toumani Diabaté s'en est allé....tu restes un des gardiens du temple ❤❤❤
A beautiful Rumi verse immediately comes to mind while listening to these chords. "Out beyond ideas of right and wrong, there is a field. I will meet you there."
Hhhh and while reading this beautiful rumi verse immediately my mind goes to these words "catch me outside, ****" sorry i couldnt help myself, much love hhhhhh
Après Fatoumata Diawara, voici une nouvelle fois un artiste malien. J'espère que tout cela permettra aux gens de voir le Mali autrement que par le prisme de la guerre qui fait si mal à un pays magnifique, peuplé d'artistes, de musiciens, bercés d'un art ancestral et fabuleux. J'aime le Mali pour y être allé déjà plusieurs fois, j'aime le Mali pour ce qu'il m'a donné, la foi en l'humanité.
L’ignorance tue ! Je dis que le Mali est le berceau de l’Afrique de l’ouest. Un pays plein de richesse, de culture et de tradition. De la part d’un sénégalais ❤️🇸🇳 🇲🇱
Listen to 'Ballake Sissoko & Toumani Diabat - Bafoulabe' when you can. Just an incredibly beautiful song. I first heard it several years ago on 'Mala's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix' - also helped broaden my horizon.
@@Pat315 yeah I know but I'm easily distracted and I don't understand every nuances of music so it's more complicated for me to understand and appreciate some music. But sometimes I really enjoy it depends of how I feel I guess. And I really like techno, house, and trance music without lyrics so I don't know maybe my ears are just not used to it. But I will definitely try and listen to songs without lyrics now.
The banjo also came from Africa. It was called "the banjar". Apparently the first string instrument was found in Mesopotamia, but Africans made it better of course :)
Oh my god, what have i just heard? This was so beautiful, it made me emotionally melt. And we here in Europe are so ignorant that we have never heard of such a master? I can hardly imagine what richness is out there in Africa.
I'm sold... I absolutely love this type of music - Never heard of the KORA, never even knew that it existed. Ballake is sooo talented. These are much needed African sounds so soothing and calming to the mind and soul
Saw this amazing musician with his band in York, UK a couple of years ago, all of them were brilliant and their music absolutely blew me away, a must see.
Listening to kora music on psychedelics, to me, it's like listening to the language of God. The universe is singing through this man. Thank you for the beautiful performance and recording.
Encore une fois merci d'avoir permis aux artistes africains d'avoir de la visibilité ! J'espère qu'à l'avenir y'aurait d'autres coloris avec des artistes africains et Mali pussanci à Magni Deh ! Faut jamais l'oublier.🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🙌🏾
Je viens de tomber sur cette vidéo par hasard et cet artiste m'a profondément touché. Sa proposition est d'une pureté et d'une sincérité déconcertante. Merci pour ce moment 🙏🏾
