Toumani Diabate 'The Mande Variations'Toumani Diabaté is one of Africa's greatest musicians. Now the Malian kora master releases his first solo album in 20 years. Featuring visionary interpretations of classic themes alongside ground-breaking improvised pieces, 'The Mandé Variations' is probably the most ambitious and challenging African instrumental album yet released. It is at once the definitive statement on where the kora is today and simply one of the most beautiful and melodically accessible albums you will hear this year. An important album for Africa, an important album for the world.

Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate - Soumbou Ya Ya!The track "Soumbou Ya Ya" 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.
