Diabaté comes from a long family tradition of kora players, including his father Sidiki Diabaté, who recorded the first ever kora album in 1970.
His family's oral tradition tells of 70 generations of musicians preceding him in a patrilineal line. His cousin Sona Jobarteh is the first female kora player to come from a Griot family. His younger brother Mamadou Sidiki Diabaté is also a prominent kora player.
In addition to performing Malian traditional music, Diabaté performed and recorded in cross-cultural settings. He has collaborated with flamenco group Ketama, forming a combined group known as Songhai and releasing two recordings: Songhai I and Songhai II.
In 1999, Diabaté collaborated with American blues musician Taj Mahal on the release Kulanjan.
MALIcool is a collaboration with American jazz trombonist Roswell Rudd. He also collaborated with the Icelandic popular musician Björk on her 2007 album Volta.
This is his first album in the West, a solo endeavour entitled Kaira, recorded in one afternoon in London and produced by Lucy Durán.
Enjoy.

At the 18 minutes mark, this piece takes me right into the arms of my loving daughter that we lost 5 yrs ago. Just such a soothing feeling. Thanks Toumani. Love you forever, darling Kiss. May God keep you warm.

I have this magnificent treasure on vinyl since the 80s . Haven't heard it in 28 years due to an absence of mind and circumstances. I'm back

[@petermcfadden9426]

I did a backpacking trip up through Mali in 1997 and I've loved the music ever since. Greetings from North Wales, UK.

KORA music instruments always give me joy I thank God I from the mandey empire

[@z.fadili484]

Musique qui procure sagesse et sérénité , mais aussi fierté . Bravo et merci aux legendes de la kora tels que Mr Toumani Diabaté et Mr Ballaké Sissoko .

[@dennis3678]

I think it was Mory Kante's "Yeke Yeke" that brought the kora to my attention.... heard it in a nightspot in Nairobi in 1989 (club called "Nairobi 2000", which is funny in that Kante's "Akwaba Beach" had a song "Afrika 2000").
When I got back to Charlotte NC where I lived in those days, I think that Toumani Diabate's music came to my attention probably through little music fills on NPR's "All Things Considered" or "Weekend Edition".... and WFAE in Charlotte may have aired some of his tracks.
Toumani came through Charlotte in the late 80's / early 1990's and I was so enthralled to sit in this little wooden college theatre and hear him live... what a venerable elder spirit... forever right here: 💗 !

I'm on a unique music listening path. The song "Kaira" is truly remarkable to listen to.

[@Pablo_AM]

There is a version of one of the songs of Toumani, played by Spanish musicians Ketama, and Toumani as well, it's xalled Caramelo, and it's included in Ketama LP " Songhai"... It' really amazing!!!
