The Hay Festival in Granada ends gloriously with Seckou Keita and Toumani Diabate
Oh it's been a hard day and it's only now at past midnight that I trudge along towards blogland, to show you some pics of last night concert in Granada of kora masters Toumani Diabate and Seckou Keita. I'll be back tomorrow with more pics of the jam session in the morning which was quite fun and the 4 hour concert in the evening. Are you familiar with this divine string instrument ? Here below is Toumani Diabate playing his kora.
the singer/griot was absolutely fabulousJust for now, I leave you with a video of Toumani Diabate, performing in Seville, a year ago.
Enjoy it ! and hasta mañana !

Thank you so much for introducing me to this wonderful musician. Right after I read your blog I went to itunes and put a bunch of his music on my ipod. His sound filling my head is pretty amazing.
