Sona Jorbateh is not just beautiful but she has beautiful soul and voice. I love Sona for maintaining African culture and vibe. More love from Malawi my dear sister.
I'm a 35 year old half Indian guy from Australia, I've always loved African music, back in the 90's my dad had some old encarta program on the computer that had excerpts of African music - and I couldn't get enough of it. Looking at this awesome musician, and the crowd, which is a lot of grey hair, old hippies? Doesn't matter, I just know these are my people. A big mixture of everything and everyone coming together. I love it. Great song.
Sona in Mandinka means, from the root word " Sonna" meaning given to me as in a "gift". A gift given to a person by thee lord. She's a gift indeed. Shine on my star. I love you so much 💖🙏
Sona ma your really Gold Amma, I'm from India Bangalore (Sona meens Gold) You are really texture of Gold Amma,,,,,May God Bless You and your family, entire your musician, (team) really I love your cora music, you are my lovely dear sister ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
You might well know a straight descendant of the instrument. The Griots also had simpler 'traveling' versions of the instrument like the 'Akonting" for example. These found their way to the Americas in the dark days of slavery and eventually evolved into the 5-string banjo. I happen to play traditional claw hammer style banjo which I learned through listening to old recordings and such. Once I had the privilege of playing with an African Griot at a due in Belgium. We could not speak with each other because we didn't speak each other's language but we found out we had scores of tunes in common. One of the highlights in my life. So much fun! BLACK MUSIC MATTERS :-) Love to all from the Netherlands
Oh my God for so long I have been listening to Wizkid davido bunna boy so others but I don't no that we have some African female queen's who is singing meaningful music's and soul touching music's like Aunty Asa Asha and Anty Sona Jobarteh I'm so happy to find you ladies please may God almighty be with you people you have the best classic music for ever ..... @lellipopd from Nigeria one love my African people we have everything 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

I've slowly started listening to gambian musics, because my husband is from Gambia and I just wanted to kind of learn more through the music. and I'm in love with these songs. Her voice is so beautiful and she has so awesome messages in her lyrics. It's amazing. From Finland, with love to africa ❤
I had the immense, immense privilege of seeing her perform in Philadelphia at the City Winery….for her she is incomparable in a league, dimension all her own….
I am from Ethiopia I wish I can attend one of this concerts more than anything, what I love about it is that we are half way around the world but this song hit right at where we both feel and connect through being at the same mindset. It’s just so beautiful that she can do that more than any thing, Ethiopia muso
I visited THE Gambia, while roots was being filmed THERE, many moons ago, WE PEOPLE OF MELINAN, were so PROUD to be a part of the African continent.....fond memories of DAYS OF OUR YOUTH.....PS UNFORGETTABLE performance.....
I am again 'prisoned' in Duffel (UPC)now for another 30 days. I hope your divine music can bring me peace and silence to overcome this. Besides I am not that bad at all in overcoming any obstacle. I have a huge mission (like saving this beautiful planet Earth) and nothing or nobody can stop this. We work together respect for each individual to create a better world of peace harmony justice an LOVE. I am proud to be an instrument of +The Divine to transform anything into love wisdom and compassion. Love to you Sona and band! X Gaiana
I don't know how rich African countries has diverse beautiful sound like the SONA JOBARTEH is displaying with her group.Well done,keep African musical prowess alive.
Sonah, you are strong and beautiful, your outer beauty is radiated by the light of your inner beauty and strength of spirit. You are a spirit helper, for if we all help each other, then those in power have no power over us, and we all rise. And all those in your band, snd you, are such wonderful musicians. Many thanks!
Thank you sister and keep it up.You are raising The Gambia Flag high in the Sky. I wish you good luck, good health, long life and whatever success you are after? ???
OOOoooohw yes, thank God, we dance together when this song plays. Thank you dancing crowd, it brings me joy and it brings you joy. Like the lady said, this is our song, cheers to all the Ndlovukazi.
Great Respect for this fantastic music, with a wonderful voice and the amazing Instruments, really a master track . Best wishes for the Future after the great change of mother earth, may be the Spirit of the Nature and Peace allways with you 🙏🕊️🌀💙🌊

WHAT A WONDERFUL PIEACE OF ART. VERY SPIRITUAL, PEACEFUL, UNIQUE #SO PROUD TO SAY, I'M AN AFRICAN, LISTENING TO THIS KIND OF MUSIC #MUCH FROM BOTSWANA #SONA_JOBARTEH
Why didn't I heard that earlier, music don't need a language, I could connect myself and feel soul of this song. Awesome Africa the cradle of civilization with simplicity.
Love it fills my heart with pride to see people that are part of my ancestry proud, free and uplifting, you are a victim only if you allow your self to be one. We in America need to learn that. Your present and your future are in your hands, no one can give it to you.
Я так был очарован всем, что голос изумрудный Соны не подчеркнул. Это шедерв. Она это не будет читать, но меня многие братья и сестры поймут... Я хочу поехать в АФРИКУ!
Meu Deus, como que eu pude demorar tanto pra conhecer esta cantora que, além de belíssima, é super talentosa, toca um instrumento também que nunca vi, que lindo de se ver, de ouvir... vontade de passar o dia inteiro ouvindo, dormir ouvindo.
I'm glad to finally see a female kora player! I love the kora so much I bought one myself quite a few years ago. It sounds beautiful even in my untalented, amateur hands LOL.
Sona Jobarteh you are a superstar! Such a lovely voice and the smile of an angel. Wishing you and your band all the success you so rightly deserve. Love from South Africa. Hope to see you perform here someday!
I'm from Canary Island. Geográficamente somos africanos, nuestros primeros pobladores provienen del norte de África. Esta artista me ha cautivado completamente, es impresionante.
O(Kora),em si já é difícil de tocar. E ouvindo esta senhora a dar este chow é de louvar a intenção de preservar a cultura Africana. Parabéns, bem _haja. Beijinhos.
As well as being a brilliant musician, Sona is a great inspiration to women everywhere. Traditional barriers need to be challenged! We would have lost so much if Sona had left the kora in the domain of men.
Destruction of traditional culture that gave you life is not the way to go. Women were doing stuff like this in africa anyway. In Jamaican ancestry i know Don’t believe the lies west tells you about Africans
When I first saw this video I was very sick and suffering and this song felt like an incredible beacon of light love and simplicity (not in the sense of not being sophisticated because it is sophisticated but because this song feels very humble). Now I have a very different perception of it, I suffer less so there is less emotional contrast, I see light and love everywhere so the song and Sonia Jobarteh stand out less than before but listening to this I can remember how it felt with more contrast. Interesting how perception works.
She is a music teacher every thing coming out of her is just perfect ❤️. Elle est une professeure de la musique elle est juste parfait 😍 فنانة بمعني الكلمة وتجيد أخذ الجمهور في رحلة فنية رائعة احببتها جداً
Very glad that I randomly clicked this video, wonderful music, first time hearing these type of music, I love it, much love from Uruguay.
The duty of watching that song still alive. Who's at 2021 with me?

It is amazing.
Is traditional Malian (Mali) instrument called kora, is some how look like harp
You might well know a straight descendant of the instrument.
