Kora Playing by TOUMANI DIABATE & THE SYMMETRIC ORCHESTRATOUMANI DIABATE & THE SYMMETRIC ORCHESTRA Kora lessons from the master, recorded live at WOMAD 2008, Taranaki, New Zealand A kora is built from a large calabash cut in half and covered with cow skin to make a resonator, and has a notched bridge like a lute or guitar. The sound of a kora resembles that of a harp, though when played in the traditional style, it bears a closer resemblance to flamenco guitar techniques. The player uses only the thumb and index finger of both hands to pluck the strings in polyrhythmic patterns (using the remaining fingers to hold the sticks either side of the strings and secure the instrument). Ostinato riffs ("Kumbeng") and improvised solo runs ("Biriminting") are played at the same time by skilled players. Kora players have traditionally come from griot families (also from the mandinka tribes) who are traditional historians, genealogists and storytellers who pass their skills on to their descendants. The instrument is played in Mali, Guinea, Senegal, and The Gambia. A traditional kora player is called a Jali, similar to a 'bard' or oral historian. Traditional koras feature 21 strings, eleven played by the left hand and ten by the right. Modern koras made in the Casamance region of southern Senegal sometimes feature additional bass strings, adding up to four strings to the traditional 21. Strings were traditionally made from thin strips of hide, for example antelope skin - now most strings are made from harp strings or nylon fishing line ...

Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate - Gomni!The track "Gomni" is taken from the fantastic Grammy Award Winner album "In The Heart Of The Moon" (2005) of Ali Farka Toure´ & Toumani Diabate´. Malian guitarist, singer, and songwriter Ali Farka Toure´ could come close to artistic perfection, a feat he accomplishes again with 2005's "In The Heart Of The Moon". A duet with kora master player Toumani Diabate´. "In The Heart Of The Moon" focuses on Malian and Guinean music from the 1950s and '60s with a few originals by Farka Toure´. The subtle and complexly lyrical dialogues between the guitar and the kora (which has a resonant, plunking sound that is surprisingly versatile and expressive) are highly melodic, gently rhythmic, and quite haunting. This is primarily a duo date, and the clean, straightforward production lets the immediate beauty of the music shine through. For its grace, balance, and loveliness, "In The Heart Of The Moon" is one of the finest releases in World Music. The CD is recorded in excellent audio quality. Listen & enjoy it.
