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).
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.
God bless Mali 🇲🇱 love from South Africa.... Mali has got incredible artist on Africa.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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!
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.
LINDO ERES UN DIOS DE LA MUSICA, GRACIAS POR ALEGRAR LA HUMANIDAD CON TU FRESCURA...LASTIMA QUE NO SUPE QUE ESTUVISTE EN SEVILLA PORQUE ME HABRIA ENCANTADO ESCUCHARTE EN DIRECTO!!!! MUCHOS EXITOS.
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...
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.
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.
I don't recall where I first heard his music, but once I did, I knew I had to find out more about him. It's... it gets inside you. Into places where only the most amazing music can...
man do that u know thats gonna make u know who u really are and also thats gonna give u piece ,joy and love dont forget to turn of your light or if u have a ret light turn it on and dont cry man caus some people can not hdl it caus is too deep i use to do that when i use to live in africa
The world just lost a great master of kora player. He will now play in heaven.

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

One of my favorite country to visit Mali 🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱 Their music is just amazing🇪🇷🇪🇷
There are few musical pleasures deeper than listening to Toumani play, particularly on The Mande Variations. Genius.
l'un des rares artiste compositeur au monde qui prouve l'afrique est le berceau de la musique
True hapiness when I listen Mali's music and his musicians. God bless this country and his musicians.
Repose en paix, merci d’avoir partagé avec nous ta maitrise de ce majestueux instrument qu’est la kora
I am so sad, because Toumani passed away 😭💗
Sounds from Heaven...God Bless, Africa!Greetings from the Islands of the Philippines---MABUHAY!!!--Meinard B. of SD

A true treasure to my ears. Every note is like borrowed gold.

How the fuck does this guy do it? He sits there smiling away, seeming twidling his thumbs while sumptuous music flows forth...
what a guy

RIP un grand musician nous a quitte 💔🕊

One of the most spiritual dances I have ever experienced... It takes hold of you and guides you through the groove...
Definitely adding this to the playlist for my funeral

Very hypnotic. Flows beautifully.
A musical genius at the peak of his powers.

It's incredible how he can plays three or
four parts at the same time.
This music comes from heaven!!!
Thank you Toumani.
dit is na Cuba het mooiste wat ik gehoord heb. Voor mij een nieuwe dimensie voor muziek luisteren.
Special music, truly stunning. Wish everyone in the world could hear this.
This is unreal and out of this planet. Very genuine stuff.
Wonderful music.
I could take an infinite supply of this.
Genius and the ageless wonders it creates in the talented hands of artists like Toumani Diabate, do not age nor knows age...they are eternal.
i was lucky enough to be in the audience for this. he is a truly amazing musician.
I hope one day to see this guy live.
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...

Stunningly beautiful. Such skill. I could listen to Toumani Diabate forever.....
Greetings from Atlantic Beach, Florida, USA!
This guy is amazing, his music is fluid and touching
absolutely incredible and surely one of the world's greatest living musical performers
RIP Toumani. You will be remembered forever 💔
Incredible sounds...it's as if this is not a single instrument but a whole jazz band playing. Mesmerizing music to ears.
simply beyond words. This is in its own aesthetic universe above us all!
L'homme aux doigts d'or c'est bien lui!!!
Fantastic!! Just saw his appearance in Michael Palin's "Sahara". Pure beauty! Took my breath away!
First time I hear it , magical music
The sound is beautiful..! Light and very relaxing. Love it..
sounds amazing, I like how he is festooned with microphones :-)
it makes me wonder which one we are listening to
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.
beautiful music makes me feel sooo peaceful....thanks for sharing..
blissful nourishment for the soul. i couldn't help but smoke to this.
he is just something else....
magical, elegant, sophisticated & ethereal
What a gifted man. The instrument is so amazing. I appreciate your sharing with the world.
Wow! He is a genius! Thanks for uploading this sound for us

bury my soul at the fountain of silence, for there shall i rest until i am awoken by the sound of your kora...
Happy and fool of love...this is how kora's sound make me feel.

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.
Toumani Diabaté me abraza el alma con su música, es maravillosa!!!
A world treasure. RIP.
I don't recall where I first heard his music, but once I did, I knew I had to find out more about him. It's... it gets inside you. Into places where only the most amazing music can...

Authentique musique malienne mondaine .force a toi toumani
I only wish I had discovered this music soon enough to see him and Ali Farka Toure playing together. Wonderful.
What a beautiful sounding instrument! I find it moving.
I heard Damon Albarn talking about him and I came to check his music out. I'm not disappointed, this is beautiful.
(Si) la musique adoucit les moeurs (comme on dit) alors écoutez sans modération cette sublime mélopée, vous obtiendrez(enfin) la PAIX...
