un magnifique instrument à la sonorité cristalline, et ce ne sont pas les européens qui l'ont inventé, comme la plupart des instruments à corde d'ailleurs et les percussions ... mais sirtout une maitrise exceptionnelle. Ballake Sissoko est pour moi le meilleur joueur de cet instrument
As a musician and the connection I have with my own instruments, my heart breaks for this man. I was literally moved to tears knowing that he had an irreplaceable bond with this particular kora and understanding that he would never be able to replace the connection he had with it. This instrument was part of this man’s soul and that is the greater tragedy here...that part of his soul was stripped away from him. I hope you find that blissful joy again my friend. God bless.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ballake in Minneapolis a few years ago. Even though there was a language barrier, his smile and love were infectious 💞. I’ve played his CD’s over and over….. and wil continue forever 🕊
Les nuances mélodiques et rythmiques sont tellement innombrables que l'on se jette corps et âme dans ces vibrations envoûtantes et célestes jusqu'à l'infini. Je ressens cela aussi quand j'écoute les improvisations des grands maîtres d'Inde, comme Hariprassad Chaurassia, ou les percussionnistes iraniens comme les Chémirani... (Et il y en a beaucoup d'autres, Miles Davis, Ravi Shankar...). C'est vertigineux et finalement indéfinissable. Un mélange de modestie et de virtuosité profondément touchant et réconfortant. Enfin, c'est de l'art. Merci pour ce magnifique extrait.
@Calloway, It's called the Kora, originally from West African. It's been played for over 1000 years. It's a form of story telling in west Africa and it's players are called Jalli. It's a tradition passed down from father to son. Sissokko can trace his ancestors upto 700+ years back. When a Jalli passes away, it's like a library has burned to the ground. That's why they start training their male (now female) children as early as 5 yrs old.
We will never hear him play this kora again. I know he has another one, with guitar like plugs, but I think he preferred this one, as he played it most. What a shame. So sorry for the wonderful musician. Cannot imagine how he must have felt, probably like losing a child !
Heartbreaking to find out this instrument was disassembled so brutally. It is my first time learning about this instrument and about Mr. Sissako. What a beautiful music, What a beautiful sound and what an amazing solo performance. I hope he can get it fixed to its original shape.
This saddens me almost to tears, Kora’s are probably the most beautiful instruments in the world also one of the most delicate it takes years to master this instrument it cannot just be fixed you have to tweak it overtime until it is perfection. You can’t just go to the store and buy a new one he can’t just go home and fix it, America is very ignorant! Obviously someone had opened the case, why couldn’t someone take the blame for it, I encourage you anyone to read the articles on this💖 prayers to this talented wonderful man who really didn’t deserve this horrible treatment
this track was created to honour a Great warrior his name is Nyahling sonko. whom I can trace my lineage back to. he was a great warrior during the time of the great kabou Kingdom. this track was originally composed after his heroic in one of the wars. where he fired more than a barrel of gun powder he alone. the song to this track goes like this Barra bangnaa nyalingwo koringwoo bolota Nyaling Sonko. which translates literally to the gun powder Barrel finisher Nyaling sonko, the koring was right. because during those days when they are going to war every warrior made a promise to what they would do during the war and his promise during this particular was that he alone would finish a barrel of gun powder which was unheard of at that time.
One of my favorite instruments. Such a full sound from an instrument w only 21 pitches available in each performance and played w only 4 fingers (each thumb & index finger while the remaining support the instrument). Despite any such limitations, the Kora musical tradition developed approaches which provide the listener with a rich & very full composition/performance. A tribute to artists such as the one above and the tradition which he represents. That is my view anyway, you don't have 2 agree w me. Either way, maybe we can atleast agree that the music played in this video and which can be produced by the Kora is worthy of respect.
I have been to a concert With Balleke Sissoko and it was truely amazing. Some of the best I have been to ever. However, have to join others in the condemnation of TSA and their shameful treatment of a dear and irreplaceable instrument. They don't know much about soul and music.
I was lucky enough to go and see Ballake Sissoko playing at the Arc in Bury St. Edmunds about a year and a half ago. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. His music is very pleasant to listen to. I would certainly recommend going to watch him if you get the chance.
These are not just musical instruments. They have a soul and when someone who is not the owner of the instrument or dif not get permision from the owner to touch it, it can destroy the energy between the instrument and the owner. This is very spiritual and it was wrong for whoever it was to dismantle his kora. These instruments have souls.
Malian music is a beautiful art form. The music is both rhythmically intricate and tranquil in mood. I hope the TSA mishandling brings a wider audience into contact with it (and of course that Ballake gets a new kora)
This traditional music is so soothing & relaxing & classic. Shame about the wonton Destruction of a masterpiece of such a unique & beautiful instrument. Can only hazard a guess at the low life that was determined to decimate a cultural artefact. 😱
Just beautiful.. the sonic quality and the cinematography here are spectacular. This version is VERY different from the "Nalesonko" on the "At Peace" Cd.. Much more spectacular, esp. the ending.
Where is the button for ‘Superlike’? This man is a genius! You can feel his soul speaking through the music 🧿

2/6/2020 TSA dismantled that instrument, congratulations America
here from reddit
Every day, we fall further from grace.
fuck man :(
@Anom Mona no it's not
TSA is a dysfunctional artifact of post 911 hysteria - misallocated resources, under-trained inspectors... par for the Bush43 legacy
le son de cet instrument est réellement merveilleux.... merci

Essayé ce titre: szerelem szerelem de sebestyen martha
sounds much like guitars & harps mixed together in harmony & it's so peaceful
What a beautiful instrument. Never seen anything like it before.
5:15 - 6:15 is soooo pretty

@@eepien Thanks so much for the explanation!!
إنه التناغم البيني بين الآلة الموسيقية وأصابع الفنان التي تسافر بك في عالم الشوق والاشتياق إنها موسيقى روحانية !!!
Sending love from Morocco to all those who love this art!
It's such a great piece of art. Modern generation will never get the beauty of it. Very sad to think about the future 😔😔😔
Merci Ballaké des sons qui me rappellent ma jeunesse folle
Qui aurait fait un non-like pour un tal merveille de musique. Si un est ignorant, mieux de se taire. ou changer canal...N'importe quoi.

I accidentally watched the whole thing. This was so beautiful 5:16 made me tear up for some reason. Wow.
Watching this because I just found out his instrument was destroyed by US customs. Shame on them, this is beautiful (2020)
Yep. Me too.
usa out to destroy everything good .
Not going to try that again. Thank You
Wtf!!! That's rxtxrded

C'est donc bien beau ces sons doux, cristallins et ... merveilleux... WôW 💙 j'adore !
Tears of joy. Even angels will have tears because US Customs destroyed his Kora. What a goddam shame.

America owes this man !!!!
Ballake....le tueur!
in these hands the Kora is the complete instrument, nothing else needed (or wanted). I can totally immerse myself in this album.
Africans really have mastered the art of music.
John Mashar 😂 only the musical ones..✨✨✨beautiful music 🎶 nonetheless ✨✨✨
Suono meraviglioso, vibrazioni dirette al cuore ...
Mesmerizing in its tones, acoustics, expression and skills...wow...This is music from the Cosmos.

This is what pure joy sounds like. Merci, Ballake!
My heart breaks for the loss of your beautiful, precious Kora.

Ouaaah ! Je découvre ce talent exceptionnel et, de plus, je vous invite à le voir jouer avec Ludovico Einaudi (live at Auditorium Roma ! Yes ... bravo
Quel délice ! Mon Dieu merci pour tes cadeaux musicaux !
Great! The master! Really beautiful performance of a wonderful composition. Ballaké!

If something good came out of that, it's that I discovered his beautiful music. His talent is up there with Paco de Lucia and Jimi Hendrix. Stunning.
This is not music Mali is music of ngualing sonko
@@signateansou8201 why
@@signateansou8201 it is 100% Malian
Tu es le meilleur... je t’aime 💕❤️ beaucoup ... qui écoute ça encore en 2020 ?
of course. more than you think.
Tom Lang thank you ... and have a great day.
Moi je suis un grand fan de la kora.

Just beautiful.. the sonic quality and the cinematography here are spectacular. This version is VERY different from the "Nalesonko" on the "At Peace" Cd.. Much more spectacular, esp. the ending.
The ending is different because Ballake switches to another groove here, to the ancient piece kelefaba.
Merveilleux.
Stuff of legend!
Magnifique touché ,,,,,,, simple noté me il faut être doté de l'AR bravo
Fantastic!
So beautiful! :)
