Sona Jobarteh from the Gambia. The first female professional kora player to come from a Griot family. My favorite musician in the entire world and the band at this concert was gargantuan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig91Z0-rBfo&t=16m52s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Multiple Grammy Award nominee from Mali, the unmistakable Fatoumata Diawara. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMLgV1LH7tM/t=49m20s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

A new addition to my West African music obsession, Marema from Senegal. Basically 90% of the music I’m hearing the past month or so is from this concert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7efWa4-OV0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
