- Performance 8 July 2018.
Sona Jobarteh is the first female Kora virtuoso from a West African griot family. First in a tradition that is several centuries old, in which the Kora mastery was exclusively passed down from father to son. Since the release of her album 'Fasiya', she is justifiably praised, both as an instrumentalist and vocalist.
Live, she is accompanied by four musicians.
Sona Jobarteh: kora, vocals
Andi McLean: bass
Mouhamadou: Sarr percussion
Derek Johnson: guitar
Westley Joseph:drums - เพลง

Hi Sona Jobarteh, you have opened my feelings for Africa through your music, I am emotionally touched by your voice and your performance, Gambia should be proud of you, and so am I from Norway, you make Africa much closer to Norway with your fantastic rhythmic music and voice, cheer on you 👍
I am an original Melanesian from South Pacific and love the music. I am sure other Melanesian from West Irian, PNG, Solomon Island, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji will feel the same indigenous rythm
I am an Indian but , more and more often I listin African music . I love Sona's instrumental and songs both . She have amazing talent .
Thanks
It’s the only thing “we” people want. Nothing else, just “PEACE”… greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina beautiful Sona ❤️🖤

Africa the cradle of humanity, this music touches me so deeply. Sending love and blessings to Mamma Africa from London, UK

Oh that's nice..
Africa!!i am an African!!!much love from South Africa.Be passing in Gambia to Cape Verde.Music unite us!!!!
I'm looking up and down the comments here and I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only white American who loves West African music and the virtuosity of West African musicians on the kora and calabash. My musical tastes are fairly eclectic anyway, having grown up with 60s pop, progressive rock, R&B, new wave, etc. But this stuff warms my soul. Sona Jobarteh is indeed a master on the kora, and to top if off she is SMOKIN' hot! The complete package of talent, intelligence, looks, and serenity of being. When my soul needs a boost I put on some Malian kora & calabash and just close my eyes and absorb it like a sponge.
If you want to expand your Kora and Harp horizon, look at Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita Try the video "Two Harps Beat As One".
Try this:th-cam.com/video/NU-H2zg3_BM/w-d-xo.html
You're not the only white American that loves African "Afro-Pop" music. They used to play a lot of "Afro-Pop" music on PRI/Public radio International if Donald Trump and his GOP horde haven't forced them off the air. I used to listen to it on weekends on on the Internet.
@@chrisgordon5719 Yay! One in the win column!
You forgot to add, she's also modest
Goosebumps, tears, happiness and joy. Dear God pls restored Africa with good leader's oh Lord, so the world will see real beauty of we Africa. God bless this amazing lady and her band.
God has not and will not step in. You will need to do that work yourself.
Sebastião Edson Macedo I agree with you for if he was going to he would have done so 1500 years ago
Stop waiting on god and let’s get to the rebuilding of our continent only Africans can restore Africa
@@thebridge5483 any way it's right to pray and ask to God or life or universe for África and their people. Our wishes will be a truth like these great musicians do. Blessings.
It looks like god abandoned Africa long time ago. I put my faith with the beautiful people of Africa and of the world to restore harmony on this planet. We are all one!
Listening to this enjoyable sounds from Germany. My father lived in Africa for 6 years (most of the time in Namibia) . He taught me to love African culture in all its facets.
Her music makes me feel real African, with rich cultural background.
The first time I heard the kora I cried...I just cried thinking of how this was taken from us. what if you lived with this instrument and were captured and put on a slave ship to never hear it again . only in your mind heart and soul. I love the Kora and this music. Thank you ancestors from bringing it to us again. but so many of us never heard it and never heard of it. Wow....until today.
Listenning with lots of love from Lake Town city of Kisumu in Luoland Kenya.
Awesome.. Listening from Kilifi
Omera Jakatiga, thumni mit e yo mabor!
je suis du Burkina Faso.je comprends ta langue seulement je suis fière quand j'écoute tes chansons.longue vie a toi et à nous a revoir un jour.
African music is in true harmony with the rhythm of the Earth and this talented lady is a true angel, her music soothes and flows so naturally, it brings peace and joy at a cellular level. Viva Africa, viva Sona!!!🙏🙂
Completely agree...
Viva Africa 💖💖

This is AMAZING! Listen to the KORA, how soothing ; the drums, how they conduct the whole ensemble; the guitars, how they embellish and compliment the amazing voice. AFRICA at its best. Long live Sona. I am from Zimbabwe.
That little communication they had (using their instruments) towards the ending was EVERYTHING!
exactly
Hey Sona Jobarteh and team....Love from Assam, India. The music is so from the earth. I am glad i came across it today.....Kora is unique, the way it is held, strings facing in and the spectacular use of thumb unlike any other musical instrument...Africa is rich in culture!

This is absolute history ihe making Dont ever miss a chance to see her live. There is no one like her in this world I am so glad I can hear her . So dedicated so hardworking Very delighted Bravo
Ho avuta l'opportunità di vederti ieri su RAIUNO, in Italia. Non avevo dubbi, Sona, che tu eri artista d'eccellenza. Con la delicatezza delle note, tue e della tua band, avete fatto un dono meraviglioso all'UNICEF. Poche volte si ha l'opportunità di vedere un'artista che quando si racconta sorride. Tu ci racconti la tua terra attraverso la musica, canale multiculturale. Grazie Sona. Tu e la tua band siete uno spettacolo intriso di meraviglia. Grazie di averci data l'opportunità di respirarvi.
I am from Chad 🇹🇩 and I am in love with this woman. Salutations from N'Djamena. Go Gambia 🇬🇲!
Very very nice
Sou brasileiro, mais amo a África e a Jamaica ,onde me endentifico
Tenho um amor muito grande por esses dois país
Meu coração ,é africano e jamaicano.o sangue
A very accomplished musician. A virtuoso. Hail our mother Africa!
In the end we will find that we are all one big family ... different, colorful, warm ... what connects us is music, love and joy ... Sona and her band are ambassadors of this infinitely large human family who, with their music, remind us of who we are, where we are going and why we are here!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Preach!!!!
Proud of you Sona ,l am a Mandé from cote d'ivoire
We you brother 🇬🇲❤🇨🇮

Nous les malinkés de côte d'Ivoire avons délaissé et abandonner notre identité alors qu'elle est la plus riche du pays.

Totally enthralling on all levels . Masterful musicians - perfect performance. I can't get enough of this band. Love to you all.
This percussionist is very good at what he does! The band is very good! Viva Sona!!!
Amazing playing ....
I am very very enjoying with ur music from India...
I have watched countless times and still counting. This is the best thing happening to me in 2020 sofar.
J'adore. C'est mon âme qui vibre au rythme de ces sonorités. Les espaces, le vent sur mon corps, le soleil et la pluie qui nuancent mes ressentis. Et j'oublie pour un moment ces obligations matérielles. L'Afrique la mère de toute vie humaine, sera-t-elle aussi son futur ?
Je pensais cela y à un an... et c'est encore et toujours d'actualité.
Listening and responding physically with lots of love in cape town, western cape, SA...
I love her and her music, my Gambian home girl, greetings from Swiss,
Great chemistry n connection with the band members
Much love Sona thank u for preserving the West African Heritage over the years..Nice Vibes💚
In 1996 when the Olympics were here.....in Atlanta USA.....I danced on the streets by the international wonderful ethnic music that was generously brought here by many people from elsewhere!!! Oh thank you Dear.....for rekindling for me this lovely music....of your Country. Thank you. I feel nourished by your music.. Ahna USA
We adore you dear SONA... warmest greets from banyarwanda folks!

We need to appreciate our artists more, they are pure diamond
Great african music
I love the energy, happiness and respect shown between musicians reflected in this nice, inspiring, long performance
Sou brasileira NAVEGANTES SC mas aprendi a amar as musicas dela ,muito.talentosa .😙
when I listen to this I dont even eat or drink. you can totally survive on this. saw her song a few years ago and thought she was talented she is reached greater heights for sure. play on guys. the whole team is awesome.
ONE LOVE...truly stunning performance. Seeing artists like this in perfect sync, feeding off each others love of music, life and humanity. Had the privilege of spending three months in Gambia in 1994 as student on placement in Brikama, Dobong and other wonderful places.
What a time that was...helped me realise deeply held beliefs that had little currency in the west but make perfect sense in a rural economy. Gambia made me so welcome, such natural people.
Picked up a significant drumming habit there and ended up making the same journey that those primal rhythms had made all the way to Cuba.
This is amazing. Bless all of you for this music.
So adorable
loving the music from Nairobi Kenya
Absolutely brilliant....what a lady musician from the Gambia...you're so talented.....and the youngman on the guitar...he's so good
Hi Sona I am so proud of you by the way bring our music forward
Greetings from Senegal, this to me is one of the best stress relief
After the music of Salif I never though I would fall so in love with the music of an African artist to this point. Been listening to Sona for years now. Much love.
Beautiful people and wonderful music that transcend all cultures. Many blessings to you.
Much love from Tanzania. You're are one of a kind
Mimi pia.
Mavazi ya kiheshimaa....sioni tabu kwenda na mama mkwe kwenye concert yake.
Sona our sister must give a concert in Tanzania my bro and sisters 🇹🇿
Peace from Zambia. May God bless you and your band Sona.
This is the very first time that I have listened to your music, and I shed tears of emotions, especially when you play two, you and the drummer of the tam-tam. I do nt know you but Proud of you Sona
