À vous tous et tout qui liront ce commentaire sachez que Toumani Diabaté monde nous a quitté le vendredi 19 juillet 2024 comme vous pouvez le savoir il nous a laissé plusieurs mélodies comme celle-ci cette très belle mélodie, qui ressemble à une grande symphonie qui nous fait voyager dans le temps et on se demande comment merci à Toumani. RIP
Toumani Diabaté is a GRIOT also called Djely. They're HIGHLY trained African families that's taught the African Oral Traditions Customs and history. He's a genius VERY gifted Musician. His son's name Sidiki Diabaté💖💯🔥🖤🤝🏼
@@abbasloda1it was the same with my people. Eventually our circumstances changed and there was concern the oral tradition would be broken, so it was written down. But we still refer to its oral origins, and it is sung, with the tune’s elements adding meaning in the manner of punctuation marks. and I always think of the griot in Alex haley’s ‘Roots’ when I hear it. These days we are mostly looking like white Europeans, so it surprised our African neighbours to find out some white people also know their tribal history- we’re very stubborn that way!😂
I met Toumani in 1990 when he played his debut concert at New York City's Symphony Space. The airlines had damaged his kora and so he used my kora that I brought back from The Gambia in 1989 for the concert.
Hi David! Long time no see! Are you still playing the Kora? Remember when I came chez toi in Boston @ 25-30 years ago and you recorded a guitar idea I had? Were you ever able to put it in a tune? Hope you are well and playing your awesome music 🌍
Been listening to Toumani for decades. A world treasure. I once went to a Taj Mahal concert and low and behold Toumani was one of his sidemen. I couldn't believe a musical deity was sitting there on the stage as "just" a member of the band, and I bet not 5 people in the audience had any idea who he was. This is the gift to us from 70 generations of musicians in Mali. All respect, and thank you so much for sharing your soul with us.
To all of you who read this comment know that Toumani Diabaté world left us on Friday July 19, 2024 as you may know he left us several melodies like this one this very beautiful melody, which resembles a great symphony which takes us back in time and we wonder how to thank Toumani. R.I.P.
Thank you! I saw Toumani is '89 or so in Boston and it changed my life forever. He spent 15 minutes tuning his Kora after he got up on stage and it just melted into one of the tunes and it was truly celestial, and has been ever since, his presence on Earth.This is such a quick and different version of Djarabi. So beautiful and strange.
Celestial is the best word i can think of to describe the transcendental warmth that pours from his fingers through those strings. Heavenly, magical, sublime.
This originated in west Africa stretching from Gambia, Senegal and Guinea, it dates back to the 13th century. The kora was actually mostly reserved during this time to royalty 👸. So yes feel like a queen
Sad day😔- this great Djeli Toumani Diabate has made his transition - 7/19/2024. The Ancestors are awaiting the arrival -and if there's a Heaven -this must be what is sounds like.
I shit you not and I have even played the song several times to be sure, at times pausing in the middle: a bird outside is chirping along to this. Seriously.
tout jeune et déjà quelle inspiration! quelle technique! Toumani a toujours été un génie de la cora et de la musique du Mande. cette vidéo en est la preuve. nous te regrettons, Toumani.
This maybe the first time I heard the kora and it was a magical experience. Toumani is rightfully revered as the master musician or should that be griot from Malian culture who made and introduced the instrument into Western culture.
I have not knewn that master Toumani Diabaté has passed away. He is one of my favourite strings player kora from África. It was a great loss, for sure. May his soul rest in peace!
I was shown this video in college by my wonderful ethnomusicology professor. I had to step out and have a cigarette because it was the most beautiful song I’d ever heard.
Sad day😔- this great Djeli Toumani Diabate made his transition -this day 7/19/2024 aka July 19, 2024. RIP: The Ancestors are awaiting the arrival -and if there's a Heaven -this music must be what it sounds like.
Thank you Toumani Diabate for your deeply touching soul music! Excelente african master music in kora playing. May the precious traditional music touch the world and make it a place of love. Great respect!
Wow, thank you! Toumani is my teacher and a personal friend. Wonderfull to see this video. Sooo young here! :) Warm greetings, Ida from the Netherlands.
Sadly I don't think there are a lot of African girls on the continent who can claim to be Toumani's personal friends and students. Typical African behavior: show love to white folks abroad and be indifferent if not feel superior to their bothers and sisters on the continent.
Aí Bubacar Tomani Diabate my name is Famata Dabo your Cora musics it's beautiful. I love to be a single singing the Global and Globo Music a nim Allah sonta Allah Warta albarkade I my self I live with my family and brothers. Generations all so
acabo de ver uma publicação na "whatsculture" sobre Toumani, estou me perguntando.. como não conhecia isso antes? é um som viajante que te faz questionar coisas que ainda nao se viveu e para outros apenas uma viagem ao tempo.. 👏🏻🤍
@@shaneswale1512 Sona is wonderful. My favourite song of hers is the one about her grandmother, i think it may be called Mamamusa. That brings me to tears, i love it when her voice soars. I also enjoy her own rendition of Jarabi.
